The problem with that is, if you go to sell the bike you have to state the odo reading. Since it was "adjusted" you have to put TMU (true mileage unknown) since there's now actual record. That trims down the overall value of a bike.

I talked to Z1 Resto and wanted to make sure he could keep the correct mileage before I sent him my gauges.
