Whats your top end, mine was only 90 after Stage I, took it back and dealer tweaked SERT. Now 100.
Seems like your dealer leaves a lot to be desired on tuning / tweaking...

Ironically, the only time I've pushed my bike to "the upper limits" is when it was fully loaded, 2-up, on a long, flat beatiful road in Colorado. We hit 105, then thought "okay, enough is enough..." and backed 'er down... Knowing I can do it seems to be enough for me... That, and the tap on the right shoulder from my wife, keep me generally maxed on the highway at about 85.

I`ve had my stock 02 ultra up to 100. Had a littlemore left, but that`s enough for me.

I had mine up to 104 two-up on the slab with only slip ons. I have not tried to go over 100 since stage one but it will get up to it no problem. Maybe one of theses days I'll have get there a little quicker too.

Not sounding like a "me too" kinda guy, but I've hit 90 here a few times and the bike has been rock solid. And i knew it still had a bit left to go since the throttle wasn't pinned. Too be honest i can hit it without even realizing, sometimes, how fast I'm really going.

It's an 07 Ultra with Stage 1 A/C and PCIII, dynoed with raised red line limits.

PS, I usually seem to accelerate this way when I'm group riding with experienced riders and everyone is rocketing thru the gears on an on ramp.

You should get more than 100 out of it.

Maybe it's me, but 85 mph at 3000 rpm's is fast enough for me. What's it like to go 120MPH on an bagger with a fairing?

He must be in 4th! Is it possible you have an unusual final drive to red line 5th at less than 100mph; I think 3k in 5this about 70 on my 07. You do need a dyno tune and then you can see a printout of the power. How many miles do you get on a gal of gas?

Well I can't say I ever did this on either of my Ultra's but I did hit 110mph on my Road Glide a couple times. Felt good...stable and like it could goon forever. Sure was a blast!
