Bought the Speedohealer SH-V4-TSD ( with wiring harness SH-U01 ) to remove the 180 km/h limiter and yes it´s work
Since now i have the ECU flash plus the Speedohealer and i´m still using it to correct the tacho speed ( so it´s became spot on with gps )
After all the modding , ecu , intake , exhaust bike was clocked @ 223 km/h GPS (still 100 km/h less than my H2 :ROFLMAO:)

The cheapest and fast way to remove the limiter is the Speedohealer , less than 100 euro , 2 hours job
You say you have the ECU flash. I'm assuming its the Guhl reflash?

Entonces, ¿Vicente está haciendo referencia a un ala 07 al que le hizo esto? Si es así, esto puede no ser aplicable.

Thank you very much, Vicente and Gohstrider, for your contribution, which is just what I was looking for, because in addition to limiting to 180, you can see how the power starts to decline from 170. If it's not too much trouble, could you please attach the link or device reference? I've seen many, but none in particular for our 2018-20. Cheers

I already found it and I think this may be it. I see that the installation is multiplexed. Has it been difficult to install?

Here is the manual , https://www.healtech-electronics.com/docs/Supplementary Manuals/SH-U01__Honda_GL1800_Goldwing__2018-.pdf
I did not cut or splice cables , just unpinned from the connector and did a clean work with extra wire and pins , unluckily pins for this kind of connectors are hard to find.

The speedo healer can only offer about a 10% increase in speed because if the speed signal is altered by more than 10%, the bike will throw an error code when it senses the speed signal does not match the bikes RPM. This means your bike will still be speed limited, but the limit will now be about 10mph higher than before.

Actaully the speedohealer used for the gl1800 is not like the standard version , plus bike will not throw errors . ( Yes i´m sure )

I like everything about the Guhl reflash but it's not really an option for those of us outside the USA. It would take weeks or even months to turn around my ECU and I couldn't risk it being lost in transit. The Speedohealer SH-V4-TSD (which is available in Australia) might not completely fix the speed limiter but it would help. The install instructions suggest a 14.3% recalibration for the 2018+ models which would get the bike pretty close to what it's capable of without the limiter. Of course you'll not get to see what speed you're doing because the speedo will just indicate the reduced speed.

However, the Speedohealer does one thing the ECU reflash doesn't and that is to correct the hugely optimistic (in many cases) speedo reading. Mine is displays about 4% more than the GPS readout. I will buy the SH-V4-TSD for that reason alone. The TSD (Top Speed De-restrictor) version is only $7 more than the non-TSD version so why not. It would be nice to stick to the speed limit without having to do mental arithmetic or peer at the small GPS speed on Waze. And when out west, be able to run the bike closer to its full potential.
 
The speedometer on all the 2018-2020 bikes I've ridden is dead on.

I understand very well how the Speedo Healer works, I suggested the design concept to the owner of the company before it was even developed. They had to limit the correction factor because the bike will indeed throw a code if the speedo signal is too far out of range from what the bikes actual speed is. It is a solid unit and offers one alternative way to increase the top speed limiter, but just understand that it doesn't remove the limit, it just raises it by about 10-12mph. It also makes your speedo read inaccurate at the upper end. I've done high speed testing and the bike will go significantly beyond what the Speedhealer limit is. The only total solution to removing the limit is to reflash the ECM.

No MIL will be triggered , neither error code ,not for euro models , telling you that as Honda Tech not as gl rider .
Plus . when i drive the bike (German Autobahn ) quite every day i see over 210 km/h (NUVIZ HUD spot on gps , tested it with accurate data recording i´m using on street test )
 
Apparently we aren't communicating. I stated that the correction factor had to be limited to PREVENT a MIL from being set. During testing of this device several years back, it was found that IF the correction factor was set too high, it would cause a fault code, thus they had to reduce the correction factor to prevent this.

The Speedo Healer is a good option for those that don't want to go the route of getting a reflash, but you need to understand its limitations.
 
The correction factor can be easily programmed is not ALREADY programmed , as i did , without any sort of problems .
you can read the instructions.
Otherwise the bike will be barely have a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mp/h) my bike was pass easily the value without issue even without my ECU flash

Test of the Speedohealer for the SC79 were maded in early 2019 btw , not years back ( you may refer at Sc 47-78 )
 
The correction factor for the speed signal at normal speeds is not the same as the correction factor for the speed limiter at the upper end, and the upper end correction factor can not exceed a certain value or it will throw a code. Norbert and I had discussions about this very issue some time back. I'm really not trying to argue with you, but it sounds like you aren't grasping how this device works. And in reality, the normal speeds on this bike really don't need a correction factor applied anyway, because the bikes speedo is pretty accurate (within 1-2mph) from the factory. The real reason for installing one of these would be to cheat the speed limiter to a higher value by applying a large correction factor at or near where the limiter would kick in. This reduces the speed signal going to the ECM so that it is still under the limit. But too large of a correction will cause a disparity between what the TCM knows the speed to be, via gear and RPM and the speed signal going to the ECM.

You can clearly see this printed in the Speedohealer instructions where it says

" It means that -2.0% calibration will be used under 175 km/h and -14.3% calibration will be used above that. This setting is necessary to remove the speed limiter without getting an ECU error code. "

Furthermore, this bike does not have a dedicated speed sensor in the transmission like the previous generation. It uses the two wheel sensors to determine speed. These sensors are also used for the DCT transmission, Traction Control and ABS brake system so any alteration of the signals from them can impact those systems. The Speedo Healer gets around this by altering the signal right where it goes into the ECM.
 
I understand what you are telling me , you do not understand i´m using different paremeters without have problems ( that´s was also before i did the ECU flash )
I will tell you more , even tryed to let it start at 160 km/h with over -23% (does not rembember exactly) guess what? No MIL ,no DTC ...
Suggest you to think not all here are driving DCT ( like the thread opener) , so talking about , DCT , TCM or TC does not apply every single time.
( I had with pretty new Dunlop 6 to 7 km/h difference between GPS and speedo that´s why i´m still using it , may km/h speedo are a bit more off )
