Strictly Street

Well, I think Olde Habits is ready to hang with you guys now. Been out and about this weekend on a few rides. Trying to extend my time in the saddle to get my "approaching 50 fanny" more accustomed to sitting on "the Loud and Thunderous Buzzer". And if you guys wanna run 70, I can probably hang with that too. Had her up to 104 today on 79N and didn't get blown off the back. Even held it at 90 for awhile (2-3 miles) until I got worried about the size of the ticket I'd get if I passed a trooper at that speed. It confirmed a suspicion of mine that I've had since I got her. She's been worked on, internally. Factory specs show a 1995 Sportster should top out at 105. However at 104 she had LOTS of wick left to twist. The cams feel and sound stock, but I know the carb (S&S Super E carb) isn't and I'd bet if I pulled the heads I'd find domed pistons in her. But, alas I still need to re-jet the carb. She runs WAY too rich and at 40mpg is just guzzling fuel.

Will holler at ya later!
