I opened up my '08 Softail Custom a while back and barely topped a 100.
And then it was vibrating ridiculously.
Is this normal?? At the time it was completely stock (now it has Bub 7's and other than that and a few little comfort items, still is) and just after the 1000 mile service.
Hell, my old '96 Shadow 1100 (which was completely stock too) would run 120 and not even strain (that's as fast as I wanted to go).
Don't get me wrong, I love my bike... but sometimes I like to gouge on it a little.

 

 

Funny.

 

Damn, I must have a real dog 08, mine peters out a little over 85. You should be happy.

 

mine ran 100 when stock and i chicken out, i was thinking middle aged man, no need to do this.

 

 

I know a stock 96 should do 105
My 103ci RockerC will bottom out the spedo = 120

 

my other bike does about 190mph. havent made any attempt to top out the HD yet, i definitely didnt buy it for going fast.

 

Thanks for the troll comments, *********.
It was an honest question.
**** on it. I quit.

 

bye!!
