For a $300 dyno, I hope you're getting passionately kissed, because you're gettin' f!$#ed. I never pay more than $150 at an indy.

My Y2K road king can easily do over 100 - in 4th gear. I've never had it fully wound out but I'd guess it would do easily over 120. Lord knows what it would do with a 6 speed tranny. This is a bike with 75,000 miles. That said, I try to keep her under 80 mph on solo trips - gas mileage goes down the drain over 79 mph.

95"
gear driven S&S cams
S&S top end
Fueling oil pump
All work excellently performed by Central Valley Cycle in Springfield, Oregon.

No, IMO it is not normal. My stock 88 after the stage 1 saw an easy 105-107mph. Now with the cams and 95" I haven't found top end.....yet

I agree with this quote. Before you pay any money take it back to where your bike was worked on. Let them look at it. But no, it's not normal. I rode a 2003 Electra Glide Standard with the ol 88 and it went up to 105 mph bone stock. Unless of course you are like 400 lbs?

I just realized you have a red bike. That could be your problem. Mine is black and therefore somewhat faster.

If I was you, I'd call the place that did the work for you. Once you get passed explaining to them why you have the need to do 100 MPH on your bike, I'm sure they'll take a look at it for you.

I was waiting for a "black is the fastest" post here. Sometimes we overlook the obvious though, since we all know that black IS the fastest color.
