143 mph and change
Anyone who owns a bike has heard the my bike is faster than yours type stuff. Well I went to the TEXAS MILE this weekend and saw I guy on a dyna with a 110" HD motor do 143 and changemph. So for a normal everyday bike that you can ride on the street that is not to bad. He could not keep up with some of the rice bikes that were doing over 200 on shots of NOS but for a normaly aspirated v-twin that he rides to work I was impressed. He did have a steering damper...ha

RE: 143 mph and change
why is you guys dont have faith that a harley can be made to go fast and still hold together ? I am looking forward to meeting up with someone on one of the SE dynas just to see how it matches up against mine. Sadly all the ones i have met have been owned by guys who think there lungs will expode if they go over 80 
Honestly tho mine has a set of wild 1 chubbs drags on 4" risers and forward controls the tool rool on the risers does act like a mini arm dam andtakes some of the blast off buteven at 150 it is still stable. Well as stable as an old evo lowrider can be
