Default Rev Limiter

Did a search but can't find an answer for a stock bike. Does anyone know what the rev limiter is set at for a bone stock 06 twin cam 88 with stock pipes and AC. Seems to me that my bike just hits the peak torque when the rev limiter shuts it off. I don't have a tach.

It's either 5600 or 5700.
On a stock or close to stock your torque has already fallen well off its'
peak. Horsepower peaked at about 5500.

I think it's 5500 or 5800.......the SERT raises it to 6200 automatically but warns that over 6200 with stock valve springs can cause major damage.
