Nope. 90 is about as fast as I've gone on either of my Harleys. I did however get my Honda Shadow 1100 up to 110-115 one time outside of Rapid City on I-90 trying to catch up to my Pops on the way back to Sturgis... too fast for me!

Absolutely. I have a 96 dyna with 240 wide tire conversion , 41mm front end and a 113 s&s . its hard to keep the front down but when it is it loves speed . very comfortable and stable at tripple digit speed.

It takes a little bit to get there but I have. Although I have to say that the ride doesn't feel as solid as it feels on my nine. That puppy gets there quick and it keeps asking for more without hesitation. I love riding them German Autobahns--there is nothing like it.

I've bumped over 100 several times on my '14 FLHTK, but for short durations, and generally in a open road passing situation. The engine certainly doesn't feel strained at that speed. Having said that, I have found that I now comfortably ride at 80-85 far more frequently than I did/do on my 2K Road King. Even with a 6-spd and 95" conversion, RK feels more stressed above 80.

I can neither confirm or deny that statement, Sir!
But I was once told by somebodies ex girlfriends mother-in-law, that they saw some one on the I10 between Phoenix and Cali that possibly might have been a similar bike and dressed like someone who could have been me doing 105 on a '00 FLHTC.
But I would never break the law after getting a major modification/upgrade to my engine like that.
Jus' Say-en!

100 is a bore on my GSXR, but i took my 14 sportster iron creeping past 105 the other day on some secluded country roads. felt smooth going into triple figures but the roads had something else in mind, got blasted by a few rocks that hurt like hell!

Yes. three of us broke 100 for a short time on godforsaken Rt 24 off of I70 going into Co springs. The springer softtail was leading the way. Side winds are always fun at any speed.
We got that out of our of our systems. At least I did. Well, at least until the lead bike does it again.
