RE: TOP SPEED ON HARLEY
365? I think that is significantly more than the terminal velocity for the mass and surface area of any MoCo product.
I've had the EG into low triple digits a couple of times, it wasn't made for it so I try not to make a habit of it. 85 MPH is a nice high end highway speed for me.
Kawi has been in the 140 range a few times according to my GPS and Sigma readings.

RE: TOP SPEED ON HARLEY
mystock RG gets sluggish round 108
the 87 flhs 115 in traffic, the HWY trooper was kind of pissed ? when he finally caught up to me (9.5-1 and ev-3 cam)
the 03 dyna did 125 no problem (211's V&H 2-1 propipe )
95 flh an easy 100
my 93 K1100front end felt like it wanted to come off the road@156. the road kind of ended more quickly then usual!
98 RT1100 120
of course the posted speeds are hypothetical as we all know no one does more then 10-15 tops over the limit.
faster faster until the thrill of speed over comes the fear of death

Had my '77 750K Honda to 102mph. Fastest I've ever gone on land.
My SG has been to about 95mph, very stable since installing Alloy Art's Touring XR stabilizer but it was about as fast as I cared to go. Getting to old and didn't want to make life shorter than it already is.

I am not sure how fast I have gone on my Ultra with as far off as the speedometer is. When it is reading 80 I am really only going about 75, from what others are telling me.. :-(

My top speed was about 90 mph, but it has lots more left. These touring rigs just aren't built for high speeds. Below 90, the bike is a dream.

My 02 did 100 indicated, stock. Never pushed it with the Stage I and Mackie gear cams. This 07 will zoom right up to 90 in a heartbeat. Stock. Maybe some day when conditions are right, I will see what it will do. [8D]

180K/H * 4.97 Furlongs/K * 0.00298 Hours/Fortnight= 2.67 Furlongs/Fortnight.
I've had my bike up past 2.5 Furlongs/Fortnight, or to put that into a more used dimension, say,1660 Smoot/Minute.
Just trying to help out.
