My speedo was past 120 yesterday, not sure how fast I was actually going, but with bags and a fairing it was more than enough. Just had to see if I could barry the needle after I saw this thread.

I hit 115 on a long straight away, I don't recommend it with bags and windshield but, they hit 130 on the dyno. Oh and BTW I have a GPS matched speedo healer so that is exact MPH
