I did some Parade laps at Portland International Raceway. I finally hit 110 mph (indicated) It was fun and scary at the same time. [image]  [/image]

You broke 110. What mods do you have? How much throttle was left?
Looks fun.

I HIT 110. That's when I reached the corner. I don't know how much throttle was left, I believe I got to that speed due to the long straightway. I was just trying to slow down for the corner. I haven't done many mods to the motor, just the short pipes, (no real baffles to speak of), no snorkle, rejetted, but that was done by the shop, I'm not sure what they used, they just said it would run better with the AI removed. That's about it. I wish I were more confident in the corners to keep up with some of the other modern classics. Of course, I was the only person representing the Speedmaster/Americas. There was one Rocket III and a Thunderbird Storm. [image]  [/image]

I was only asking to see where I am at by compairison. I have yet to obtain a dyno run because they seem to be "harleys only" around here. And I dont have the money to find one out of town and pay the dyno fee. Thanks.
