Kinda late for work this morning took the bike up too 79 my fastest yet only had it a few weeks and I have to agree that who ever had an 883 that topped out at 83 I believe there is something wrong....I could have got to at least 90 felt like it had a lot more. I have SE intake, re-jet and V&H Straights
Be safe. I know mine will go over 90 I don't do it ((ok, 1x)) Just to see. It had more but I chickened [8D]out. Just be safe and stay with in your zone.
Maybe it's just me, but my thoughts are who cares how fast their bike will go as long as it will cruise for hours on end at top posted speed limits,and still havereserve power to spare.
I too just hit 100mph the other day, and yeah with no winshield it feels real damn fast! It still had lotsa juice left, but I got scared...lol Seems all smoothes out at about 70mph in 5th
