I've seen triple-digits a few times with the bike still pulling. Plenty fast enough for me, don't need to know the answer to your question. Will be watching the thread though, I'm sure someone has a faster angel.

Is that with our without your windshield, I've only done about 95 without a shield and thought I was going to be ripped of the bars...

yea, that was with my windshield ON.I was on the interstate stuck among agaggle of cages and some box trucks that all seemed to be content in their configuration of lane hogging and not passing. When my opprotunity presented itself, I downshifted to 5th and gave 100% twist. I was out of there faster than I could have fallen that same distance. When I looked down at the speedo, I had already crossed over 100mph. I slowed down went back into 6th and enjoyed my 300 degree view of open road. The idiots were well behind me in their happy little pile of congestion (taking up the other 60 degrees of my circle).
I have never had my 2008 FATBOYover 100, but I can tell you that the power seems endless. I can take off in third gear and the bike won't kill the motor. GOT TORQUE? OH YEAH!
