speedo calibration ????
 
Hello, I recently swapped in a 700 r4 into my 77 stepper. When I hook up the speedo at gps speed of 60mph it is bouncing off the peg....

what kinda gears do I need to put into it, do I need one of those ratio reducer boxes?

I am runnng 3:73 ratio with a 26.6 tall tire 2wd?

These guys are really good to deal with. Just got new gears from them, nobody else had them, they are getting harder to find.
