Doesnt' sound like you need to be going over a 100 after just getting back to riding, and with kids. Are you stupid or bored? I would also get rid of the Homosexual reference in your sig. Better yet, just start all over with Hey, I got my bike and am new to the forum, and we'll all respond with welcome!

Pa Pa---Now work on spelling and when to use capitals. I know you can do it if you try after all you made a Harley go 100.

Man!... you guys sure do know how to make a guy feel welcome...

WTF!

I thought his post was better than most new people... ***** he could have asked about oil...saddlebags... fingerless glove or assless chaps...

Give 'em a break...

Oh and I get my XBones over 95 just passing a car... but usually run around sixty...

My 01 FB would run 113 mph with only stage one and mufflers.

05 RG 116 mph with 95" upgrade, pcIII and full exhaust.

Both measured with GPS. RGs top speed measured last weekend on the way back from a rally in Brazil.

Try 5th gear - 6th is too tall for a stock motor. 100 is not bad for a stock bike, but a free-flow air cleaner, pipes and fuel management can get you off the speedo.
