Fat Boy top speed?

We swapped bikes on a ride and he couldn't fit on the seat or change gears on my Slim S. I suffered the same on his bike. We swapped back after about 5 minutes, and laughed. I'm 210 and about 4" shorter.
My bike's a little faster, his bike is specced the same as mine, both have 117 kits. Not sure if I could run faster than him though!

I've had my 2010 fatboy to about 118 mph. as far as I know the bike is mechanically stock except for the slip on mufflers. limiter comes in at about 108 in 4th, and 5th gets you to your drag limit. going to 6th get doesn't get you any faster. it takes so long to get there, that it's really not even fun. I'm pretty sure my roomate's ZX10 does that in 2nd, maybe 3rd.

I'm Canadian and the fastest I had my Stage 2 103 up to was 180km/hour. I also had a windshield and 14" Carlini apes.... I'm a hefty 290lbs. The bike would start to wobble a bit at around 160/170 but 180km/hr was completely tapped.
I have my bike in the shop right now though getting the S&S 124 Hot Set Up thrown in. It's a B engine so cases gotta be split and a Timken bearing thrown in. I opted for the lower 10.2:1 compression pistons vs the 11:1 and subbed out the 640 cams for some torquey 585's. I also threw on a 58mm HPI throttle-body with 6.2 injectors. Added the S&S cam-plate & oil pump, a Darkhorse Manowar motor-sprocket, a Trask billet clutch basket and swapped my beautiful (but crappy) V&H 2 into 1 Big Radius for a set of D&D Fatcats. I woulda gone with a Boarzilla but they're a hideous looking exhaust system in my opinion and I plan to throw some bags on for touring once and awhile. I am expecting my power numbers to be around 130hp/130tq and the bike "should" run cooler than stock with everything I have researched. It should be a fun ride going forward I can't wait! I should have it back in about a week.
