Default High Way Crusingq

What speed does your bike top out at on the highway?

My post keep getting cut off.&nbsp\\;

I hit 70/75 and my bike runs out of wind and vibrates all to hell.&nbsp\\; My Dyna TC would cruise nice at 80 but maybe I'm expecting too much from a stock EVO?

My 93 FXSTS cruises at 80 no problem.

Sounds like an airflow/jetting problem...

Yeah, you got something wrong.&nbsp\\; I can cruise at 90 and I'm pushing a barn door.

I have Samson Pipes, HQ CAM (for a stock EVO), a Ness Big Sucker and it was Jetted by the stealer.

Maybe though it is the stock air cleaner cover I'm still running.&nbsp\\; Maybe it is to restrictive.&nbsp\\; I'll pull it off this weekend and see if she runs any better on the highway.

I've done 80 easily on mine and no issues at all - haven't gone above that yet because i've only had it a month or so and don't trust it entirely yet.&nbsp\\; I had plenty of throttle left though.

Thanks for the EVO help.&nbsp\\; I'd say more but my post keep failing if I take too long.

It's not your air cleaner cover.&nbsp\\; My money is on the carb, as twowheelsforever suggests.&nbsp\\; Probably gunked up.&nbsp\\; Start with pulling it off and cleaning it thoroughly, especially the jets.&nbsp\\;
