RE: what's the fastest you've gone on a harley?
Watched my '84 Sporty come back thru 110 after letting off for a while (probably milli seconds, but felt like a while). I'm quite sure I was over 120, but had to hold on and couldn't look to confirm. While my brother was on my bike, I took his Wideglide up to 100, just so he could say it would go that fast, but had to let off to wait for him. My '07 Softail goes 85 easy enough, and wants more. None of those bikes got light at all. The wind wasthe bad part.

Been over 105 on wideglide started getting squirley, so i have sence put race tech springs in front and lowered back and front 1 inch, and went with a 90/90 on front tire and now can do 110 with throttle left and no problem springs made it ride like a lowrider,

145 mph, on my '95 sportster, clocked it w/ my gps. That is stupid fast and I only done it once , that was enough for me.

After the complete motor build on my springer and with a changeing of the guard on the electronics andRev limiter and.... Well, I just had to see what she haddon't you know.
I set out with a couple friends for a ride. When we got to one of thefew long straight roads I let up and the two friends kept going. When they lookedfairly small down that long road, I let her rip.
I went by those guys like they were going the other way. The needle was well past the 120 mph the last time I could see thespeedo. I later pulled over and waited for my buddies. When they finally caught up, they asked me how fast I was going and with tears still running down my cheek I had to say, "I don't know, I couldn't see the speedo".
I've never gone that fast on her again, I don't need to. But it was something that got my blood flowing.
And it was nice to see that all those $$ really did buy something other than bling.
