I really don't want to look at it or think about it or find
out how to bid on it.

Look no farther. If you have PULLEYS, that's your problem !! ;-)

Seriously, if you really think you need to go faster than 105......on a
cruiser, no less......then SELL IT AND BUY SOMETHING WITH MORE POWER.

Or pour a shit load of money and time into it, only to find that <gasp> it
will never be a race bike.

IOW, get serious.
