What did you do? What did you do?!!!!! Sounds to me as though you had a lot of fun.
I ain't never had my XV up to that speed!
And I believe that means you're able to keep up with the notorious (he-he-he) Sportster, and for a LOT less money. Seems to me that the stock 1200 is good for around 120mph. And if you/ve every ridden a Sporty I'll bet you know which is more comfortable, the HD or the XV. ;-)

I've been "tuning up" this week, new plugs, a splash of SeaFoam in the
tank, a tank of 93 octane just for fun. Adjusted valves although I
don't think I changed much, they do sound a tad different, mostly
quieter but one seems a bit louder, haven't tried to figure which one
yet. "Synch'd carbs although I just checked 'em and never touched the
synch screw as they were fine.
Anyway, went for a bit of cruise today. Seemed to be running fine. On
the highway she felt particularly happy so I canned it and it shoot up
to 90 like nothing, then 100, then 110, 115 and I buried it. ?? I've
never gotten that much out if it. I guess I was doing 120. Yikes. I
better go back out and verify that......wow.
