Not too optimistic - our GB will do an honest 75, that's running a well
broken in 110 with a PG. I could easily see running out the back of an
80 MPH speedometer with the right combo, and the manufacturers
typically leave a little headroom for the inevitable tweaks :-)
BTW, I'll be looking at ours tonight, I suspect there are screws buried
behind there somewhere. At least I know it isn't stock.
