Yes. If it is doing that then your main is just too big for your setup. S&S doesn't even recommend that big a jet for stroked motors (not that their recommendation is the end-all). Have you done any other upgrades to the bike besides the cam?

TD by my S&S E book you should not need but between these jets, Min- Max..
intermediate jet- .028 to .031
main jet- .066 to .074 For your set up and what your trying to go build. Beyond this your just dumping gas.

You are right, if that bike is stock and it looks it by the pipe. I would say about 72 or 74 main. That why you can't get it over 80. Way to rich. Sucking gas.

On my build I have the main at .074... and get 47 mpg... Your build should be .072 or .070.... Your bike ought to do 100+ mph stock.

My 1999 softail I bought new and at that time all I did was put a jet kit and different pipes and I had that thing up to 115 with the girl friend (wife now)on the back going to Humboldt Iowa. Wife wouldn't let me get away with that now.
