They aren't lying, all bikes I've had are about 10% optimistic. I went for a ride with my dad and wondered why the hell is was doing 5 under the speed limit and why people were riding our ass. At the gas station I asked him how fast he was going and he said "the speed limit" which was 50mph, mine said 45. Same thing on my Honda vtx, we did the speed limit according to the speedo and we were only doing 45 according to GPS. We both use the GPS speedo on the cruisers now and the digital cluster on my storm is +-1mph so it's good.

You can put just about any cluster on any bike if you're resourceful and have a basic understanding of electrical design.
