youŽre hitting the rev limiter.
been off the clock on mine (no bags, no screen). donŽt know how fast she went, but it was fun! i donŽt actually trust the speedo, but under the construction and use regs, itŽs got to be within 10%
iŽll stick the GPS in my pocket at some point and get some real figures

About 110. Funny, at higher speeds, the bike feels more comfortable.

Was riding with a friend who had his GPS, doing 60 mph, my speedo was showing 63 mph. I would say they are about 5% off.

Took it up to 100 it does it easy. Cruising speed is 80 to 85 and it rides good at that speed.

Not near as fast as a 1500 suzuki intruder or 1500 nomad or 1600 Kawasaki vulcan LOL. I had mine wound tight 2 times now and 104 is all she has even with everything it has had done. I changed my setting on my Dyna to 36A and haven't tried it yet but doubt it will make much difference on the topend speed. This is by far the slowest topend bike I have onwed besides my HD Electraglide.
