Anyone know of any good local speedometer shops? Any recommendations to where I could go get it done?

Wake County courts don't buy that "faulty equipment" bullshit any more. Don't even try.

uh maybe he has a jittery speedometer cable like my piece of shit 80s cars

actually, yes it does jitter from time to time, but only if I go slower than 20mph...

The reason I ask is because I plan on upgrading the rims, which will thus change the circumference of the wheel which is used to register speed... Therefore, I thought I'd see if there was a recommended shop that could help calibrate my speedometer and odometer for me.

(Wake county doesn't, but Johnston county still does ^_^)

plus I assume that it is a bit off anyways, seeing as how its old...

A dyno will be good, in the future, after I get the engine put in, seeing how that's around 4 years away, i'm not concerned with that matter... I'm content with my 155hp output at the flywheel

why not just buy the right tires for the new wheels, and then you won't have to worry about it.

because that would just make too much sense.

there's a guy on Blount street downtown that I got to calibrate a speedometer once. I think the name of the place was Bradley's

USE this, and just remember a few speeds.

I think Bradley's is now tits-up. I ride by there all the time. Don't think they're open any longer.
