Default RPM= ? speed. 2010 WG

Can anyone tell me what rpm my engine is turning at 70mph?

Was just contemplating this out a few days ago ... did a little spreadsheet a couple of days ago for my 2005 FXDI ....

Screen shot of the print preview kind of truncated a few lines ... but, it is enough to get the idea ...

Assuming it's the same as an 06 Super Glide, here's a spreadsheet I did.

I don't get all the tech stuff, but does your chart indicate that 6th is a 1:1 ratio and not overdrive, or am I (most likely) reading it wrong. His 6th is definitely an overdrive gear.

You're reading it right. My sheet is based on 6th being a 1:1 ratio. If you know the gear ratios of that bike PM me an email address and I'll send you the file. You can change anything that is shown in yellow and it will recaculate the numbers.

These are from the Harley website for the 2010 Wide Glide. I don't have a tach yet (and may never on my FatBoy) so I also appreciate the information. Thanks!

1st = 9.311
2nd = 6.454
3rd= 4.793
4th= 3.882
5th= 3.307
6th= 2.79
