Today I rode some highways 
For the first time since december when I got the bike I got to ride the highway in DRY conditions from start to finish.
It gave me a chance to really test my Road Comet with the aero touring screen.
It makes a lot of wind noise and I will be ordering the normal size screen to compare, I've also read a lot of comments this is the size to go in terms of wind noise.
That said. When tuck down I can reach top speed of my CB
2 things I noticed:
1. The front end was very wobbly at the front end, it made me scared.
I reached 171-171 km/h in 6th, thats about 106mph.
Dunno why it became so wobbly at front...was it caused by the fairing, or the wind cause there was a lot of wind today, about 25mph according to the forecasts.
2. when reaching top speed it sometimes felt jerky as if the fuel got cut off all of a sudden and than it would suddenly reapply power wich was a bit of a surprise when you regain power at such high speeds.
I assume that was the Electronic speed limiter kicking in?
Do all bikes have it?
I read a topic here stating its because of Japanese law, but this is not Japan.
So do you guys in America have it too?
Do the fellow Europeans here have it?
Mine is a 2014 EX model btw.
Thx a million!
EDIT:
hmmmm, most important, I did forget to mention that I did ride with a huge topcase, 55 litre Givi E55 Maxia 3

I assume this could cause the front to wobble at high speed?
