Hey Guys,

Went to my parents over the last couple days, cruised at about 75. Wondering what the rpms are at 75 on the train. Also do you think that speed hurts the bike cruising for about 100 miles?

 

Should be somewhere around 2300 rpms. My '96 inch softail custom runs at a little over 2K at 65mph. Running continuously at high speeds should not hurt your bike as long as it's broken in. It is however a better practice to vary your speeds.

 

My bike is happy at 75 in 6th gear

 

At 75mph I am at about 3000rpm. I am running a 103 with heads, pistons, cams, and sert but that should not affect anything.

 

ONLY 75? I cruise in 6th @ 80 to 90 all day, well really about 2hrs
at max b4 I gotta get off my solo seat that looks kool but is
definatly not a touring seat.

lol yea the rpms definitely did not sound high and I was cruisin right along. I hear you on the seat, I have the stock badlander and it isn't bad, but after about 100 miles, my *** and legs hurt.

Thanks guys
