Spyd,

[spydglide]

Very interesting.  My B & B SEEG may have a higher top end speed than the 115mph I saw on the speedo, 'cause I ran outa road and like I said, didn't even really look to see what RPM's I was indicating at that speed.  I do think that the overdrive 6th gear would make your top end higher since the 103" would probably haul it on up there.  I'm a little leery of the previous thread's claim of 136mph top end since the rider also claimed to have ridden at that speed for a tankful of gas (135 miles) and who could fiddle w/ a GPS while riding at 136mph? Not me, but maybe I'm just getting a tad slow in the reflex dept. as I my grey beard gets longer.  I'm gonna have to find me a longer road w/o traffic and radar to try it again.  Just wondering what others have found in the higher mph/RPMs on a 5 speed SEEG??

Mike, not that I was busy handling the MC as much as looking for someone who might take offense at the speed I was running.......don't want to lose my 'ticket to ride' ! Har!  I got to that speed very quickly and didn't 'hold it' long to let the speed try to increase.  It just seemed to flatten out at 115.......maybe it had more if I'd given it time, but like previously indicated, I was ready to reduce the speed due to conditions.  I was sitting straight up , well...in my usual semi-sloughed straight-up riding position, and the bike was as stable as any bike I've ever been on at that speed.  More so than most.  Probably not close to bumping the rev-limiter either, just didn't look at the tach.  I'm gonna have to go back out and 'git ur done' again to answer this question on this SEEG's top end.  Thanks all.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Is the TOP SPEED thread staring over?

Where's Tater when I need him? [smiley=nervous.gif]


Hey Mr. We,,,, glad your back
And my answer to that question about a hole and bolt would have been NO"

My decidedly non-stock Candy Cobalt and Starlight Black Rocket Ride will easily do 120 in 4th without redlining. Course the limiter is set at 6450 and oh yes it will bump it off in 4th

No they don't

First, Ya'll are off topic, which I appreciate, cuz
Second, I've only been gone for a month!

Now for the meat (and taters) of the issue,
When Mrs. We asks if all holes need bolts,

[spydglide]

Well, now this site has got it ALL!  Meat & Taters, Nuts & Bolts, and Frick & Frack!  It's just about as much fun as a Barrel & (full of) Monkeys ! [smiley=jester.gif] Har! [smiley=beer.gif]

[spydglide]

Dag, Shrader!  120 in 4th.  You don't need a 6-speed on that sled.  I'm not sure I want my scooter to putt that strong (esp. with what I'd have to spend $$$)........but would love to have it bury the speedo needle in 5th for short duration from time to time.   [smiley=biggthumpup.gif]

[spydglide]

Ain't that the truth, JRud.  I'll accept any 'blessings' tossed in my direction whether they were intended for me or not, most of us can always use a 'blessing'.  Same to you, dude from ole spyder.  Will wonders never cease, Kyle Petty just  got a 'top ten'.  Har! [smiley=beerchug.gif]

[HUBBARD]

is Naitram speed faster or slower then tater speed?

Mr. Administrator,
 What an honor to have you mention one of my many AKA's circulating about this awesome site, and, in regard to one of my favorite topics, SPEED, no less!  My answer to your question would be, "faster", as my "Rear Wheel Horsepower" is considerably more than my "Intelligence Quotient!" [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]  I Love this Site!!  Later--HUBBARD  

[SHRADER]

Dag, Shrader!

[HUBBARD]

Just bring your bike, and of course your pcoketbook, and I'll be happy to make yours run like mine. And as for the six speed. It won't bump off in 5th so why do I need SIXTH.

REGARDS
SHRADER

Yeah, 'er 'uh SHRADER,
 6450 is too much, man!!  You know this!!  You need to reprogram your Rev-Limiter!  Mine bumps at 5800!  I can't believe a man with your knowledge and understanding of the Twin-Cam Motor would do such a thing!  I know I'm gonna' stay ahead of you now!  I don't want to be close to your SEEG when the "Chit" on the inside finds it's way to the outside!  Oh yeah, didn't I tell you this site had brought us closer as bros' and friends?  Later--HUBBARD  

[SHRADER]

Yeah, 'er 'uh SHRADER,
