I went for a quick run this morning and my Speedo hit 72-33mph on a short section of road
I am going for a good run this afteroon and will let ya's know what I find out
So I am over 100km/hr easy...Thats about 115km/hr
But untill I get a buddy to go with me I wont know how much its off but I will tell you when Iget back what my speedo tops out at

The absolute max I can get on the SPEEDO is 70MPH/HR or 110KM/HR
So as of right now I am unsure of exactly how much top end I lost due to the 28" tires, until I get another guy to go with me to compare side by side speeds
