Engine performance
my softail has 100.000 miles now, when the engine goes to 2000-2300 rpm it tries to miss like were still cold and when I try to go faster than 70 mph I open up the accelerator full open but do not increase the speed. Any suggestion as to the cause, please.

leak down test
I would start off by doing a leak down test. this will tell you how the health of the motor is. if the valves are leaking a bit then it will show with this test.
sounds like you might need a little valve work. dsv

When an engine becomes tired, or weak, the signal to the carb becomes less, losing it's ability to wick fuel up thru the jets, requiring a larger jet orifice size.
Perform a leakdown test, and compression test for starters.
Do not overlook the camchest area for any lifter/camshaft issues.
