I found another great use, for my ram-mount. I use it to hold my cell phone, while I ride. I stream music, & also can use the GPS function, that's built into the phone. Playing around with Android Apps one day, I came across one called "Speedview". It is a super accurate app.

I tested it on two of my vehicles, before running a test on the busa. I used my 2006 Ford F150, as the standard. It's totally stock, with about 70k miles on it (with an impeccable service record). The app reading, was dead on, with the trucks speedometer.
Next, I tested it in my 1994 Ford F150 work truck. It is also stock, with about 90k miles on it. The app read higher, by about 1-2 mph (so I'll just say, the truck is actually about 2 mph slower, than what it is showing).
Next the Busa: 2009 stocker, with only 5k miles (with the exception of aftermarket, slip on exhaust). Wow. The app read about 5-6 mph higher, than what the bike read. So my bike is actually 5-6 mph slower than what the speedometer read.
I tested ALL in the range of 0 to about 90 mph (except my 94; didn't want to push it that hard; so I went to about 80).
I saw the SpeedoHealer device on the market, that is designed to "correct factory speedometer inaccuracy". I don't think I'll get one, however.

We all know that our bikes, are more than likely incorrect in it's speedometer reading. It's just good to know that my bike speedometer isn't accurate, & by how much it's off.
