RE: HIGHEST SPEED ON A NIGHT TRAIN
I went @ 120 mph on my 03 nightrain and it was a little shakey past 95 mph but I think it was me shaking ...not the train j/k the front tire felt a litte (light) at that speed
but I felt in control of the bike! (strait line btw)

I would be shocked if mine went over 110 with a stock engine (except for ac and pipes) and I wouldn't be worried at 100 so maxing it out on a smooth road should be no problem. The front end doesn't like gravel or ruts in the road surface, that's for sure.

RE: HIGHEST SPEED ON A NIGHT TRAIN
I've had mine up over 100mph, and still accelerating. No stability issues at all, but a lot of vibration in the grips and pegs! 
Cheers!

03 Train. Stage One and Thunderheaders. Highest I've been, about 100 mph with room for more across a stretch of New Mexico.

RE: HIGHEST SPEED ON A NIGHT TRAIN
I have had my speedo pegged and it reads 120mph. If felt pretty stable and i had plenty of control over the bike but a lot of wind noise at that speed for some reason.
