Default Just Curious.105 mph Top speed for a street bob?

Topped out at 105 on my Bob. Is that it for a stock bob? Gonna get the stage 1. Will that make a noticeable diff on speed? I dont really care about speed just would be nice if my father inlaw doesnt out run me on his Yamaha custom 1100..P

Ran my '06 FXD up to 102 in Utah a couple weeks ago. Once was enough!

I think you can get a little more. Had mine to 107 on the return leg from a long haul I made a few weeks ago. Was on about mile 700 of a 750 run in one day and ready to get home. Carrying a full tour pack with saddle bags and going up a very slight incline approaching a bridge when I let off because of traffic.

SE intake,SE II slip ons and stage one flash.

Bike is rock steady at speed, ran for hours at 80/85 sometimes 90.

Good Luck

Tom

I've had my 99 FXD up to 115 a couple of times and still had more to go but that was fast enough for me. I've only done a stage 1 and my dyno if I remember correctly was 72 HP and 79 Torque. Like I said, I'm sure they bike had a lot more but I just didn't feel comfortable enough to push it further. You really have to think about how they really love to cruise at 85-90 and still have a lot of throttle left over.

Like Ron White has said, you will be the 1st, to the seen of the crash ! How fast do you really need to go ?

I wouldn't be too worried about that yamaha 1100 custom. I had one before I got my wide glide...it aint outrunning any H-D TC 88

I had my super glide to a little over 110 before I did the stage 1, and it was still pullin. Yours just stopped at 105? That's hard to believe. I'm sure it will go faster than that. [sm=dontgetit.gif]

Thks for all the responses. Im normally a purty safe driver. I just HAD to see what it would do.. And i didnt hold it at 105 for long. So maybe it had a little more in it.
