If you thought a 26.4 was going to be hard to find, the "digital" equivalent
is 26.413882 -- which is going to be harder still!
More seriously, if you are prepared to live with the fact that the speedo
will read illegally slow, why not just live with it? There's a 6% difference,
which is probably less that the inaccuracy of the speedo in the first place.
I have a new motorcycle with completely electronic speedo which reads
consistently 10% out.
