RE: speed limits
Current ride, '87 FLST, about 110 mph, and that was with windshield & passenger.
'78 FLH, about 115 mph.
'72 XLCH, 77" stroker, about 135 - 140 mph.
Now that I'm older I hate when my face gets pushed to back around my ears, flapping like crazy, so I don't much travel that fast!

RE: speed limits
for me on the 05 sporty it has been 70...weird though since I don't get it up to that speed very often, it felt like I needed another gear...and there aren't too many opps around Issaquah/Bellvue/Renton to do that. But am planning to get out to Eastern Wash, especially around the Moses Lake/SoapLake backroad areas where that would be a good thing to do!

RE: speed limits
Had my old Ironhead up to 90mph so far. Probably would go a lot faster but why would you want to LOL?
