Put it on and don't worry about it. There is a place on the title that says odometer not accurate. Well at least here in ohio.

Try Palo Alto Speedo shop.

http://www.paspeedo.com/

They set mileage on a Honda motorcyce odo for a friend; don't know why they can't for a Buell.
Give them a call.

I have wanted to try this out for a while now...

1) using an oscilloscope find out what the speedo sensor is sending out...
I am assuming it is probably some sort of hall sensor thus it sends out pulses with the frequency determining the "speed".
Primarily watch the voltage and the wave form...

2) using a power supply, power up the speedometer

3) then using a signal generator emulate the pulse that the speedometer sensor puts out...
and connect the signal to the speedometer sensor pin on the back of the speedometer
You can play around with the frequency to get it to climb as fast as you need it to...
I have a feeling though that it will not pick up frequencies above a certain range.

4) last step would be to watch the odometer to make sure you do not go over if you do you will need to cycle the odometer...

And there you go that should do it...

Although this is all theoretical, and I have not had a chance to actually test this.
But I do not see why it would not work.

I have a Dakota Digital speedo on my Dyna and can set a value in the calibration mode to correct speedometer readings. Dakota also sells a device for correcting both speed and odometer reading on their instruments. You can see the details on that here:

http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype= results/Category_ID=115/home_id=60/mode=cat/cat115 .htm

Dakota offers the calibration devices for H-D, Honda, and a generic version too. I'm thinking it can't be too complicated to do it yourself.

My son works on marine electronics and has done something like that to set the engine hour meters on boats to the proper value. This is on Yanmar diesels that output a timing "tick" at a known frequency when running.

He does it by using a signal generator where he can select the type of signal that is output and the level of the output. I don't know the specifics beyond that but can probably get more info about it. By changing the frequency, he can make it count up the hours quickly.

If you can get a "techhie" involved and have him monitor the output signal from the speedo with an oscilloscope he can determine the output level of the speedo ticks.
