using periods at the end of sentences or any punctuation at all really helps people figure out what you are trying to say


There, I did that for the older folks here that may have lost their glasses.

The factory rev limiter on my dyna was set at 5500 or 5800 (can't recall) the SERT allows you to adjust it but automatically kicks it up to 6200 on the A motor. You can go to 6450 on the A motors according to the HD Master Techs here. But I keep mine at 6200. On the B motor I wouldn't go past 6000 because of the balancers. But the torque curve falls off at 5000 so what is the difference?

I have gone 110 on my Lowrider but normally stay under 80 on the big slab.
