When I had S&S 551 cams, new chrome forks, new Enforcer wheels with Commander II tires, I took her down to bike week. Heading into Salisbury I had to get away from a group of a dozen bikes that wouldn't do a constant speed, going from 50 to 80..... Decided to pass them.... twisted the wick and off I went. Started coming up on a cager in my lane... like it was heading towards me. Looked down at the tach and then speedo..... Don't remember exact numbers, but tach was over 4500 R's and speedo said 128. Made it past the group, merged into their lane as I slowly let her slow. I have no desire to do that again. But I can say, there was no wobble and the engine ran great. Who said there was an engine limiter?
My mods are in my sig. 115 indicated on the speedo and still feeling strong. But in FL a ticket over 100 get's you SS bracelets and a free meal so I backed down. I've run her 100+ dozens of times though.
My 14 street glide special hit 113 with gps and 115 on spedo then i backed down as it had already got a little light in the front around 105-110... my 16 rgs does the same but is glued to the ground so feels much more stable. They both pull to 105 pretty hard but after that the sg starts to fade out a little more than my rg for some reason.
