Hi, has anyone ever fitted a GPS speedometer? Any particular make that gives the best results? Not for the 1100, but my Royal Enfield Bullet, it is reading approx. 15mph too fast. I have replaced the front wheel unit, the cable and the speedometer. Apparently it is a known fault. The only reason I ask here is that the wealth of knowledge in this forum is outstanding. Thanks

How old a bike is it? The reason I ask is that RE or it's dealers should be the "go-to" people to take care of it. You never know what kind of nit pickey rules are in the fine print of your warranty that could make it void.
Besides, a replacement speedo brings up legal stuff as far as selling it goes. I've used a GPS speedo app on my phone in the past, get a handlebar mount for your phone and you've got a more accurate speedo plus navigation to boot and avoid any non stock hassles in the future.1980 XS1100G

Hi, it is a 2007 model. In the UK, as far as I am aware, as long as you have the old speedos with the mileage to pass on to the new owner, it should not be an issue. I am thinking about leaving the original in place and mounting a GPS one as an extra. Thanks for your response.

I vaguely remember that someone in the past has talked about it. You might want to do a search. Something might pop up. I know for sure using your phone has been discussed.2 - 80 LGs bought one new

Do a search and use "motorcycle electronic speedometer" and you should have a few local options. I noted about ten here in the U.S., some local and some from China. Most were under $100 US.Ray Matteis

For my Kawasaki Z1 I used a Speedhut GPS speedo and tacho. I wanted to fit them in the existing housings which worked just fine (sizes are perfect) They're not cheap but you can order several models with different specifications. They also remember total mileage and can be programmed by a button. The GPS antenna is in the ABS ducktail of the bike..
