...the gizmo that may make the speedometer/odometer/shift points to compensate for my oversized tires.

Could you tell us a little more about this gizmo? Inquiring minds want to know.

Tone Monday; used to sell a speedo correction unit that had a series of Dip switches to correct the signal to the electronic speedometer.
I thought about getting one, just for correcting the shift points for tire size.
Many members have purchased these, I'm sure someone will add the links.

You bet! It's the Yellow Box Speedometer Recalibrator. I've hesitated to mention it before because it's never been confirmed to work on a VX by the manufacturer so I don't know if it actually might work of if I simply threw away $100. My research leads me to believe that it was designed to work primarily for motorcycles, but it also works for certain cars/trucks that use a "hall-effect type" speed sensor. After tons of reading, I think it *may* have a good chance of working on the VX due to my research on Tone's (RIP) recalibrator. Heck, I even have ALL the wiring mapped out already and have instructions that I converted into PDF form - I just haven't made the time to try it. Shame on me - I even forgot this was on my list of "things to do." I'll try to install it ASAP - hopefully this weekend now that I've remembered it.

My biggest interest - doing the math to adjust my "real" speed is pretty easy since the speedometer is exactly 10% off. But I do think I'd benefit from having the shift points back. I hope I pick up a little MPG since my VX would shift up to 4th gear a little earlier around the 40 MPH mark.
