What a dumb question but here it is.What is the top speed you have attained on your eldo?Ive had mine up to an indicated 100 up around 5000 rpm,seems like plenty of pulling power left to go.I know the speedo is optimistic,and the tach kinda iffy too.Motor seems to just want to keep on pulling.The bates fairing makes it wobble like a tin scooter with too small wheels at high speed.When i come up behind a tractor trailer at around 80,the bike weaves back and forth as i get into the draft behind the rig.Just an observation i thought i would share.respond or ignore,whatever.Scott K
