Default six speed

man what a great afternoon to ride here in maryland went out for a 3 hour ride thru carroll and frederick county back roads
and really put the bike to the test... the sixth gear is awesome this bike really handles well for a harley when I first got the bike
needed to get use to slowing down in the turns earlier than my beamer or triumph (I kept hitting the pegs) but the power
going up and down hills and its overall comfort are better than expected ...Im so glad I opted for the dyna line
and its only frickin april

Default RE: six speed

I rode for about 135 miles today with a lot of that being on the highway, good ol' 264 east. The 6th gear does great after about 60-65 mph. I couldn't imagine not having that OD. Weather was awesome today as well. Bike went 80 mph smooth as could be, I couldn't even tell she was running while keeping up with the fast traffic. Definitely a CRUUUUUISERRRRRRRRRRRR.

I was just reinformed that the 6th gear is not an OD but just a 1:1, anybody else read about that being a .89:1, I know I did? 1:1 it is.

Great riding thru Carroll County. I live in the north weatern part not far from Taneytown. So many roads and not enough time in a day to go to all the places you can get to from here.
