90 FXR gear ratio?
I have a 90 FXR that seems to me to be low geared. when im on the highway at 75mph im at 3500rps. i want to be able to get my rpms down at those speeds. are there any suggestions on gear ratios or pulleys that would help? oh btw the bike is a evo 5 speed and all stock except for carb and exhaust.

Pretty sure you're running a 70 tooth rear pulley. Change to a 65 tooth and 75 will be closer to 3000 rpm. You'll have to change the belt also.
