    One thing I forgot. I drilled holes in the sides of my fairing and ran the clutch cable and throttle cables behind the windscreen so they would poke right out into their proper positions.

    i dont have ne gauges on mine so i really dont know how fast im going. but i have topped out the buell bounching off the rev limiter in 5th lol. but i highly recomend the primary gear off the xb9 on a 12, alot more fun. that is if you dont really care about top speed, i think she will still do 135 or so

    The only reason i paid attention to the speedo is that my bike has been in the shop 11 times since i bought it and they cant figure out what is wrong with it that when i noticed that i was hitting a brick wall at 120mph.

    Fock - I just had to point it out because i'm just as guilty. I read an email I sent to someone yesterday. I wanted to punch myself in the face. It was all "c u l8r. btw lol" I sounded like a 14 year old girl.

    I've had my 07 12s to 125mph. I backed off because my turn was coming up.. It still felt like it had plenty of gear left though. The wind was crazy going that fast so I doubt I will try to go any faster anytime soon. I'll stick to the twisties :-)

    You've gotta at least look to know what you topped out at, at least once. If you're tucked in that far the speedo should be right infront of your face anyway.

    I understand the "who cares about top speed on the street" if he's just saying he wants a bike to be faster, but having a 1200 that only tops out at 120 definitely makes it sound like something is wrong. Does the bike pull strong up to 120 and then just stop, or does it start to get get weak and that's as fast as it'll go? If you're topping out 5th at the redline and it only took a couple seconds to get there it sounds like some gears were changed. If your bike slowly made it's way up to 120 and then just couldn't go any faster even if you weren't at the redline it sounds like you've got a bigger problem.
