Default SB handle 75 mph and above?

Does you SB smooth out at higher speeds 5th and 6th gears, 75, 80, 90 mph?
Just how fast will it go?

Smooth as babysh!t on glass! I've had mine up to about 110mph. The limiting factor was the rider, not the bike.

Lets just say I can't help myself when I happen upon a freshly paved highway. 100 mph+ no problems.

The bike does just fine at speed,seems to run out ofsteam at about a hundred and twelve in sixth gear,never have tried top speed in fifth gear,might be faster than sixth.

Ona run back from the Ohio Valley last fall I made it from the Harley shop in Pelham to Mobile in three hours flat with two gas stops,two hundred and fourty miles.

Good Luck

Tom

It is. Seems like I break 100 in fourth, then shift to fifth. It steadily accelerates in fifth. In sixth, it runs out of steam quickly. Wind it out in fourth and go no higher than fifth and you will get you there a lot quicker.

On my dyno run, the computer screen was showing the tech constantly hitting 130's & even 140mph one time. Won't see me on it like that, but I was cruising down I-95 this afternoon running around 80-85mph. Smooth as butter except all that damn wind trying to blow me off....lol

Twof, my 06 SuperGlide tops out at about 115 according to the speedo.

And it will knock em down like that as long as I can hang on.

So smooth,

makes a baby's butt feel like sandpaper.

freak, on the computer screen, I am sure I could show you way over 140,
if I so please.

When the rubber meets the road,
I will guarantee you there is absolutely no way your machine
will see anywhere near 130, much less 140.

Mathematically impossible - (unless maybe if you sink about 6-7 grand into it).
