True, but upgrades are available to improve them!

This is the best (and most responsible) part of the this post.
I just don't get the desire to do that kind of speed, on 2 wheels, over concrete or asphalt. There are too many variables that can suck the exhilaration right out of that ride...
My $.02.

I guess I have never left any stock but am surprised at those on this thread that claim they cant get ot up.... All you guys that can't seem to get there must be riding an old 4 speed shovel or older.
350 lbs between me and the miss' and not sure our 1st Harley and '81 shovel ever made it over 110 MPH but we have never had an issue hitting 120 MPH since the introduction of the rubber mounted 80 inch evo....
I have no problems getting there with either of these bikes and yes the batwing fairing makes it interesting so I don't stay there long.
'03 FLHTCI - 95", 10.5:1, 211 cams, SE heads, & V&H True Duals and Monster Ovals
'13 FLHTK - 103", stock heads pistons and compression, TW-555 cams, & V&H Power Duals and Monster Rounds

The rushmore's feel a lot better over a 100mph then the older bikes, imo, dont think ive buried the peg , but close, i know it's possible, and that's good enough

Yeah, but that weird backwards triple tree that works so well at low speed is still there messing up high speed stability.

Funny.....I've never had a problem and I've been hitting that 120 mark since '97 on my '06 SG and even before that on a '99 Dyna Sport I had.
Maybe your bike needs a bit of alignment work?
