RE: High Way Crusingq
 \\;Let me start by saying that I dont make a habit of speeding, however a few weeks ago a buddy and myself were cruising at 90-95mph for a good half hour and my stock evo still felt smooth...and had no trouble keeping up with my buddies 07 duece.
 \\;So my guess is, you have some sort of jetting problem.

My 90 bagger pulls well up to 90, I usually cruise between 80 - 85 two up without any issues. Any more than this and the vibrations through the bars start to get two much.. \\;

RE: High Way Crusingq
Cleaned the carb this weekend, it was not bad. \\; But I pulled the new plugs I just put in last month and they were black as heck. \\; So she is definitely running rich. \\;
No idea whats in the carb now so i guess i start from scratch.
Hopefully once i fix this she will have more on the top end.

RE: High Way Crusingq
This is an interesting subject.I never new what are the EVO limits.I drove recently from Toronto,Canada to Daytona B,1250 miles in 2 days and back..I kept my speed at \\; 70-75 mph,according to the local speed limits.I didn't want to have problems with local cops.But I had a feeling that my bike
worked best at 3000 rpm,and I kept this \\; engine speed most of \\; my trip, it means 15 hours a day.
I know she could go faster,but for how long? I ride 96 fxdl with 68ths miles on it,and the engine was never touched. Maybe I'm too slow,maybe I can ride 5 mph faster,good question. Mat

RE: High Way Crusingq
i really haven't had my bike long enough to test the theory. \\; so far, the longest cruise i've taken was about a 35 mi (70 mi round trip) cruise. \\; since the bike is new to me i kept it at about 70 mph, but it seemed to have alot of throttle left. \\; i suppose i'll baby it until the new-ness factor goes away. \\; i never thought i'd ever admit that i enjoy cruising at slower speeds that at light speed on rice rockets! \\; now i know what i've been missing.

I've ran taken my ultra \\;up to 90-95 and still had throtle. \\; I wouldn't hold it there for any serious length of time, but these bike should easily be able to do 100+.

My 91 E Glide Classic needs high test or it pings bad! I've cruised for a couple of hours at it's top end, 105. Most of the time I'm running between 75 and 85 if I'm on the interstate less on small roads.

RE: High Way Crusingq
I have had my 95 EG up to 95. I would have gone faster but the front end started feeling a little bit light. It's an 89 inch stroker with a six speed.
