On my 05 WG the rev limiter kicks at somewhere between 5500 and 6000, hard to be sure exactly, usually have my eyes elsewhere when I am giving her that much twist, but in that range. Hate the sound it makes.

Default Rev Limiter

I think all limiters are set at the factory at 5500rpm. It was on my 06 Street Bob.

the reason why i post the rpm is because i didnt know at what rpm i was shifting...
a bit high now that i know.i guess after 105 years that harley has to be putt putt putt
down the street and not driven toooo hard...i thought it could handle around 4700 shifting
sometime... but, with what i read, it is not good for the bike..so i guess harley should
bring their redline down to 4500 instead 5500.
