Is that by GPS or speed-o. I thought I was pushing 110 on my ultra, but GPS was only showing 101. I still had some more to go, but not that much.

if you're breakin 115 you got a whole lot more than a stock motor or a speedo badly in need of calibration......

I didnt think Mine would be that fast (well its not fast) but it does get up to 90 before you know it. It was a suprise to me. Im sure I could get 15 more mph out of it easy. Now 130 no way.

My 09 flhtc 96" with rinehart 4" true dual, thundermax, and big sucker, will do 121 if you have alot of room (2-3 miles). Thats GPS mph, my speedo reads 121-122.

Normal for a SG, or normal for a SG rider? I've run mine up to 110(speedo) a couple times, but given the instability I have experienced at lower speed, I'm personally not comfortable running at those speeds routinely. No fear here, just respectful of the limitations of the equipment, normally I cautiously probe the threshold of performance with any piece of equipment I operate.

stock motors will only do low 100's and after about 90 it will take them a bit to kit there , built motors a whole lot more if you have the ***** to hold it open
