Bars are too high and not enough tire. ;)
Don't get yourself hurt buddy.
I ran a super gas dragbike for around 10 years. Low 9's at over 150. :D

Very nice bike man!
Here in town they run super bikes with extended rear frame to keep the front wheel on the ground.

It's true. Used to do the Tri-State circuit up here. Ran in quite a few national events. Was even on ESPN a couple times.
Divorce ended all that fun shit. Had to liquidate all non-essential assets to cash. A .45 round and a plane ticket to Mexico would have been cheaper.

You do realize the bars are adjustable, right? ;)

150/80 is about all the tire you are going to get under a stock Sportster and is plenty up to the task. Built this one with AHDRA SEP class in mind...11.50 index.

It's awesome. You're gonna whack second gear, the boost is gonna come on, and it's going to smoke the piss outta that tire.
Seriously, it's an awesome build. I like it.:)
11.50 will put you around 120mph. Not a lot of rake on it, watch for speed wobble.

Next change looks like it will be the seat...not enough lip in back and when shifting it wants to shuck me off the rear lol!
