as log as your not hammering on the throttle, take it easy moving through your gears you can hit 80 right at 3000 RPM's at least I can on my wideglide, im assuming its the same on a bob,




when I was in my break in period on interstate I would work my way up to 5th or 6th gear and just vary the RPM's not staying in one position for too long,


that was the advice from my dealer anyway

My dads previous bike was an 07 ultra that he bought new. He took it out of town over 400 miles round trip a few days later. He just varied his speed and rpms. Never had any problems.
