running along on a flat road in 6th at a lower rpm is no problem but if you need to move quickly you nee to drop one

thanks to everybody. Im prob. just bein too cautious and should just ride and enjoy this fine machine. I'll just shift upon feel and not worry so much. Sounds like Hobbit tears up the roads over there in his part of the world! awesome vid, man. I know its not you, but I bet you could take him!

I have a 2008 street glide. My wife has a 2009 street Bob. I installed a tach to help her time her shifts. While riding, she tells me what she is running and what rpm. it usually matches my SG pretty close.

Mopar what did the tach cost ya and did you get it from HD? Ive looked at a few and debated it.

find a nice road and stretch its legs a stage 1 96" should run the clock without hiccup which is how i know mine is sick as it will when well run 105 in 3rd
check this vid

and no its not me

Is that 120 mph in 4th and shifting into 5th? I'm sure we're not looking at a km/h speedo right?
I know I can hit 60 mph before shifting into 3rd.
Obviously cruising along is a whole different story. Hehe!

yep i went out and found a private road last night after getting my bike to run and let rip, i was just about off the clock in 4th and deffinitly off the clock in 5th and still pulling, it needs re tuning and the RPM upping so then i really will be tearing the tarmac up
