I would doubt it, at least at those speeds. The torque available in excess of the torque required to maintain speed is minimal. It's not as if we gonna rip an Isle-of-Man-style high gear wheelie with these things.

Ricky; Proper tune and you've got AT LEAST another 8-10 Guaranteed..

And anything will feel a little lighter up front 110+.

And you would be correct, sir.

Order placed today. 11" light tint with extra mounting holes 1" lower than stock holes to raise shield up if wanted.

JES deflectors on order as well.

I can confirm that the 2014 CVO Limited is perfectly happy and rock-solid stable at 115 mph...

Now onward to darkening the bikes chrome work.
