If I remember the PCIII requires a download of the "rev-xtend" feature. Separate from the map.

With my TTS I set the red line to 6500-I don't go that far, even with the TH exhaust and the open A/C it stops pulling at about 63= I'm putting a cam it it might help then, I usually stop at about 62 but the TTS will let you set it pretty much as high as your engine will tolerate-when I had my PCIII it was set at 6200 (still have that unit if somebody wants to shell out $125 bucks) (Shameless plug 
) I would not run over 6200 until I did some motor work, I only did the 6500 once to see the results, not at all worth it and too hard on the motor-6200 is worth it.

Redline and rev limiter are not the same thing. What most people refer to as redline is where the power drops off in the rpm range or where the rpms get into ranges that the engine isn't built to handle. You could set the rev limiter to 10,000 but that doesn't change the redline. For the most part cams dictate redline.

Whoever said redline and rev-limit were the same? I think the original poster was meaning raising his rev-limit to something higher and was just calling that his redline.
I am assuming everyone is really meaning raise the rev-limiter, electronically through a tuner, because changing a motor's redline is a mechanical change, i.e., swap cams, etc.

The software lets you extend the redline limit:
To Configure Rev X-Tend
Some models of Power Commander V allow you to increase the maximum RPM above what the stock electronics allow.
1
Select Power Commander Tools Configure Rev X-Tend.
2
Select the Enabled box to enable or disable Rev X-Tend.
3
Click OK to accept the changes.
Or
Click Cancel to close the window without changes.

Growing up racing cars and bikes, we always referred to our shift point as the redline, that was where we set the shift needle on the tach.
On our bikes if you exceed the set ECM RPM limit it kills the bike momentarily, that pretty much makes it a redline.
Does it really matter what we call it?

Let's not get overly technical on this, for all practical purposes we all knew what was being discussed.

yes you can do it on a TTS setup as I have one but I believe from memory i have mine set to 5800, like most posters have said not much power to be had after that, I would also suggest that if you like riding in the redline maybe a Harley is not the best bike for you, they run a lot better in the meat of the rev zone,
