I tried to see how fast my Trike would go when i had the 2011..And once my fear of death overcame the trill of speed.....I though better of going over 95 MPH...:Shrug:..

my 2011 was faster than my 14 & 16 , not sure about my 2020, haven't tried. I think my 11 went between 105 & 110. the first 3 were all the same as far as tuners, mufflers & air cleaner. my 14 & 16 i don't remember them getting over 95.

2 years ago I went so fast I outran my guardian angle and hit the side of a mountain.

Now I just keep it 10~15 over the limit.

Strap one of these jatos on there, you'll get faster before you know it.

gear bound or road speed limited by ECM Interesting. I wonder if anyone has checked with Harley to see if they did Road speed limited the new models, it would be simple to change the setting with the right tuner just sayin. Old Shiney will do all of 100 since I changed the gearing with taller tires. I rarely go stupid fast and not really planning to do it again but I'm not sure how far past 100 it would go I do very little gawking around at that speed. LOL

I had my '15 up to about 91 when I got a helmet slap from the Misses, I'm sure it would have broke 100 easily.

I get a large amount of static in my headset and a sharp pain in my ribs like someone twisting my handles so to speak LOL

A 2012 Tri Glide will definitely go faster than 98 mph on flat road with no significant headwind. But it may need to have free flowing intake and exhaust, be tuned well, running at optimum temps.

Heat is one of the biggest power robbers there is on these engines...it sounds like you already are free flowing in and out?

I would do a leak down test to make sure that all is well internally. If it is, then look at getting the heat they come stock with down to optimum operating temps and you should be able to pump out another 10-15 mph.

Below is a vid where we talk about a leak down test if you're interested.

I go through this same sensation on my trike when I go too fast. Hmmm....

Just at times the bride has very small sense of humor. She likes to think she is in control occasionally I let her believe that. Lol

 

[Jack Klarich]

I have not topped out my Trike, I dunno if I want to

[Highaltidude]

I topped out your trike...just never told you. :laugh:

Not really, would not do that.

I think we do have some video of doing some wheelies on your trike...but I asked you first.

Jack, personally I am comfortable (in clear of traffic conditions) cruising at 80-85. I don't mind speeding up to 90-95 passing, but I never stay there for more than a few seconds. Things happen too fast at that speed for me.
