I have 06 SG, SE intake, thunderheaders and the shity download (programer ASAP to kill backfiring)...I can get my front wheel off the ground going into second (wow) and hits 115 no prob...I was not trying to wheelie just slammed the throttle and pop the clutch...I damn near flew off the back at 6'5 264lbs!!!!!
When my RK was pretty much stock Stage I & Rineharts 115MPH down hill and wind to my back was all it would do.
But now it will lift the front end up in first & second gear, and 115MPH is no problem in forth gear, open up fifth and who knows?
Now that my bike is getting broken in, I've been winding the gears a little longer each time out
Last time out, I was letting the old girl wind out in 4th, as I was pulling in the clutch to shift, I looked down an the speedo was showing 120! Don't know how accurate it is, but that was plenty fast for my old bones.
