    hello, i just recently purchased a 1971 FLH, from a guy who purchased it from a shriner. i had to take the primary cover off, to replace a faulty stator. but i did not count the teeth on the gears. the bike is running perfectly, but will only reach a top speed of 78 mph. can anyone tell me what top speed should be, and how best to go about achieving this. i have to shift to second gear, before the bike reaches 10 mph. oh yea, its all original and is equipped with a four speed.
