Top end speed
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.
