what should the top speed of my 97" fxstc be? its all stock motor wise. curious to see what others are,near the same year.

 

Faster than goodsense should allow, and probably faster than your guardian angel is willing to fly.

 

take it for a spin in Germany and ride legally on the autobahn to check it out but stay on the right lane my friend...

 

Why the hell does this subject come up so often?...personally,if I wanted a fast bike,I wouldnt have bought a Harley.....that said mine goes too damned fast for me...had it up to 90mph a cpl times(with plenty of throttle left)and,if I need to go that fast again,i guess I will be late getting there...:&gt

 

yes had my 07 fxstc up to 95mph then my nerve ran out, think the bike could have gone faster.dont think i will be going that fast again 70-75 seems plenty quick enough on the highway to me.

 

Had a V-Rod way over 135 and liked it too much, sold it,
got a Night train and am very happy @80 to 90 with some still left.

 

Dealer told me my 96cub 2008 fat boy was good for 130mph

Don't believe it but it sits nice a 80 without a flinch.

 

Dealer Lies :-(

 

Thank you all ...I did have it up to about 85-90 and slowed it back down before i tried to top it more. I think the biggest prob was the wind resistance of my own body being upright with the apes. I was just wondering if that was about right fora 97' stock Evo. and based on the responsesI guess it is. I wasn't trying to compair it to a 96ci FI (whichshould actually do about 130mph. Told by someone I know whorides an 07' fatboy). I wouldnt want a 200 mph Hayabusa either....lol my angel is hanging on to the back fender as it is.
Ps. Eagle, let that 6 speed wind out in 5th andsee what happens.

 

I got my stock 07 deluxe up to 115mph in 6th. It didn't feel wound out but it wouldn't pull anymore either (the road was slightly upgrade). I think it might actually have a higher top speed in 5th gear I'll have to investigate it some time when I find a straight stretch of highway with no traffic.
