For that EV27. Rode 80 or so miles today. The headwinds at 25 mph really kept the speed in check. 75 was all she would do with plenty of throttle left.

It was a good ride anyway though.

THC, they had the dealership closed by the time I got there.

I'm about to set off to visit my preferred dealer, for some essentials. They were leaned on a few years ago by H-D UK to open six days a week, but successfully resisted, hence my trip today Tuesday, as they were closed yesterday.

Default ev27 abd topend power

Since my ev27 install i have a stroked evo that up to 90mph will stay with most HDs except cvos and over 110 cubed bikes but in the wind after eighty it has little pulling ability due partly to my 6'4" frame sticking out of bra fairing and everywhere else. Just my experience and yes i fet 42 miles to gal. on long trips over 300 miles.
