There have been previous threads on this agreeing that the 107 is factory limited to 107 MPH.

I didn't think any of the new 107's or 114's could go faster than 110mph. Unless you change the tuner. I don't know why the softtails would be any different. If someone has a tourer with stock ecm and claims they can go faster I want to see it. I've had 2 M8s and my buddy has had 2 M8s and they both shut down do to the ECM.

my bone stock 114 fat bob hit 120 lol. touring bikes have different gearing. touring bikes need low end tq because they are so heavy. top speed is pointless on them.
