You left out the part where you were wearing cutoffs, a tank top, flip flops and weren't wearing a helmet.

somethings wrong, your fatty should do well over 100 even if bone factory stock. However, that tall 6 gear probably isn't going to pull very well.

Hell, my 05 FXSTi did 110 on the speedo bone stock pretty easily (had to check it out first week I got it) and my stage 1 RK will indicate 105 tops with the shield in place.
