Cruise is programmed for min 30 and a max 85 mph. I believe in 2010 they bumped it up to 90

They are programed that way from the factory. only way to change it is to have harley reprogram the ECM. It's possible, however there is no way you will get any dealership to reprogram it above factory settings.
now slow the ***** down! I don't want to be reading your obit in the news paper!

Ain't supposed to be goin' that fast. I NEVER use my CC. I think it's too dangerous & shouldn't even be on a bike. I like having control at ALL times.

What the hell's going on here? You mean when you're tooling though Montana and you can see for freakinever that you guys don't rap it up to 100? I thought there was an adventurous spirit here. I'm NOT talking in traffic for Gods's sake either. But damn.

Rolling on the throttle by hand worked just fine. Does HD set em up this way or do I have a problem?

Problem? I think your dry sense of humor is great. These other folks just don't understand...

If you have some baling wire you could simply wire it wide open.
