New top speed :)
Running 105/25 jets with the needle still 1 slot from the bottom and the new 17/44 we got 70mph on the way up to Missouri. The front tire was bouncing so bad I was too dang scared to see what else she had in her. I’d wager a $20 bill it will touch 75. I feel like if I took it down to naked with road tires etc that 75 wouldn’t be literally everything she had. Right now going over 68 is just too utterly frightening. I’m proud of her though. Yee ha!

I use the Sambo cluster set as close as I could get to the iPhone which is 2mph higher than the bike which is 1mph below the school traffic sign so we’re definitely on the conservative side.

Was the front bouncing because of the road surface? Normally a bouncy front wheel indicates an issue.

Best guess is the front tire.

I was stuck at 62mph premods then at 64 mph postmods this entire year. Narrowing down the correct jet and gear sizes was a real long process of elimination. I know when the Sambo says 60 the iPhone will read 62 and the sign on my street always reads 1 higher than the Sambo so the bike is as accurate as it’s ever going to get. The stock cluster would read up to 15 mph incorrect
