well if you use any other than harley it voids your warranty. so use that for the 2 years they cover it but you wont be able to raise the rev limiter with it. or say **** it like i did and get a real tuner lol

Us hitting the governor has nothing to do with gearing. I'm certain my bike would easily get past 120 if it wasn't for the governor they come with.

The touring bikes may have a different speed limiter setting due to aerodynamics (side cases, top case, etc.). OEM speed limiters are based on predicted bike stability limits, not engine output limits. The rev limiter takes care of the engine.

Not saying your wrong but I'm pretty sure the speed limiter only started on the M8s. I could do 120mph on my 16 CVO RG Ultra " maybe faster but not much" .
