My Speedo Goes To 140

Will my bike do that after it's broke in?
If not, why does it go so high?
What's it take to get it to go 140?
I'm as confused as a baby in a topless bar ???

I made mine just the other day pull 120 indicated but I had to keep it in 4th or it seemed to hit a wall at 100. The only mods I have are aftermarket pipes

You know I have had others say that but I was following some friends on their VTX 1800's and after a very long and fast stretch we all agreed that 125 + is capable on both machines.. Granted maybe all the stars were lined up that day but man My speedo was hovering and slowly climbing at 127. Like I said maybe it was my mods along with no wind that day but who knows all I can say is it was fast enough for me. :-) Next time I will take a pic if I do that again... which I'm sure I will once my new tires are on.

Your speedo goes to 140 the same reason your bathroom scale goes to 300!
