I wonder what's fastest a Roadie will do...with stock displacement. I can't seem to break over 105. Fully dressed with bags, windshield and wife = 105. Stripped down alone = 105. Not really complaining, I still outrun by "Big Brother" on his V-star 1100.

Re:WHEE...103! 5 Months, 1 Week ago  
In my experiance with two roadstars, 105 to 110 on the speedo with nothing but bac is normal but the speedo's on both are about five or six mph off meaning they were showing to be going a little faster than actual. A set of aftermarket pipes is good for another five mph or at least the V&H longshots were for me.

I haven't done this on my roadstar but I used to get a little extra ump out of my honda by fileing the arms on the spark plugs to a point to make them fire at the same spot over and over. It makes them burn hotter and will shorten the life of your plugs so do it at your own risk.

Fastest I have had my 1600 is 119mph by GPS with windshield and bags, 31 tooth front pulley, stock motor except intake and exhaust, this was all it had, it wouldn't do no more.
