I have never had mine over 80mph so I don't know how fast it will go. And I dought I will ever find out! I will take low end tourque over top speed any day.

 

That one sounds like the BS, but if you say so.

 

You hit the nail on the head. Sixth gear is too high to just roll on it. Wind it up through the gears and hold on!

 

Fraid not . . .I was there with him we had 3 scoots doin that speed in testing . . .

 

That's true on any engine. You need to wind it out in each gear so that AFTER you shift, you are still in the power band. Many bikes (and cars) will go faster in the next lower gear than in the "overdrive" type top gear.

I do know from experimenting that my Ultra will go a lot faster with a 4" windshield, that with the stock windshield. Harley fairings are often equated to a barn door. But even with the lower windshield, it took miles on a flat blacktop to hit 110, with a Stage One.

 

LOL, if you want a fast Harley you need to buy a V Rod.

 

'09 FLTR - Stage I/Rinehart slips = 118 mph. Why? Have you ever been to the TX Panhandle? I'd get run over by a diesel dually at anything less than 85-90 mph...
No traffic, no bulls, smooth roads and a bike that is rock soild at 100+

 

Bone Stock My '08 SG did over 100. I think someone owes you a redo for sure!

Ride Safe, Mike

 

You must be a boring person.

 

I am presently under a slight change in some meds meself at the moment an just getting ready to make a modified crass landing in a bed....
Anyway: It would appear I;m a bit confused in what thread I was going to was respod was about.

Anywho, "BLUF" how much more over 100 do you need to go and if it often that is important too.

By the way BLUF =Bottom Line Up Front.

Do it buy a decent set of cams and probabaly a 103" kit with cams. Do it by MOCO or do it by one of the many excellent aftermarket guys.

But the bottlom line is, make up your mind and stop sitting on your keister wishing you had it done. Bite the bullet......................Good Luck....
