Default Dyna 2006 RPM

For those of you who own a 2006 Dyna 6-speed without a Tach, I calculated the RPM's in different gears at different speeds.
Maybe this is useful for some of you.

While I had to break-in my Bob, I haven't found the sweet spot yet.
Tomorrow it will have its 1,000 miles check and then also a pair of slip ons will be put on.
After that I'll find the sweet spot RPM of this new configuration.
If appeciated I will share my experiences with you.

Mine likes 3000 rpm. I usually run between 2500 and 3500.

I now have about 500 miles after the 1000 miles service.
I've also put on S&S slash cut slip ons at 1000 miles.
Agree with wlbowers, sweet spot is in the 2500 - 3000 rpm range.
