MoneyFor, Not sure what an FXFBS is so I clicked your link. Cool collection.
Chillis, Similarly my SE Pro Street tuner won't allow more than 122 mph. Now post warranty and next upgrade IE next winter I will upgrade to an aftermarket tuner that allows the speed limiter to be set much higher. In the mean time and when we did the stage kit / installed the SE Pro street tuner we added an on/off switch for the speedometer. When switched off everything else works tach etc but there is no speed limiter. Its not often that I switch it off but I have seen 140 mph on my GPS. Anyway might be a work around for you.

The PV is advertized as it can remove / alter the speedlimiter, I did it, but the bike wont go over the 123 mph, I just think it is the limit of the bike itself

I just got off the phone with Dynojet and they said the Power Vision unit can max the speed of an M8 Softail at 158mph.
Same number as FP3 with non-Softail M8's.
The rep was very adamant about it working that way with the Softail models as well.

If it in fact does work I'll eventually switch to the PV unit.

Well if he has a relatively stock bike 123 mph is probably all it will go. Which really is plenty fast. PV 158 mph well that is certainly more than fast enough. Not that many Harleys will go that fast but even if a person built one that does its not something you should be doing anyway. A lot of Mfgrs bikes and cars limit speed to 155 even if it could do more simply to be somewhat responsible as a Mfgr. Even in Europe where they have the autobahn. Above that its difficult to react fast enough if traffic a varmint whatever interferes with your planned path.

Is it tuning? My FXDR pulls healthily to 120 before abruptly stopping. I've only done the Screaming Eagle titanium slip on and extreme heavy breather plus the FP3 with a canned tune(never liked results from Autotune but it has been updated since).

Yes, I did the "tuning" with Power Vision and altered the the speedlimiter, the bike have S&S slip-ons and K&N airfilter. I only bought the PV for the limiter removal and then I took it
off the bike since it is a stupid piece of hardware in my eyes. I do not like it all, since it sits on the handlebar like a gps if you want to have it on the bike. The FP3 is hidden and you
can use your phone to alter settings, I have a FP3 as well for this bike.
