What is your RPM at 70 MPH?
I was wondering what RPMs the different size engines and transmissions get at 70 MPH. I am at 3,000 RPMs at 70 MPH. That is with a 2005 Fat Boy SE 103" and 5 speed.

right about 2900 / 3000. 95" '05 Dyna with 5 speed. I don't think displacment or other engine mods will have an effect on RPM... unless gears have been changed or the whole tranny replaced to a 6 speed.

Aw, the damn valvetrain starts to float at 70mph in second gear, so it don't matter. j/k

About 2700. Dropped down from around 3200-3300 when I did the BDL belt primary drive conversion.
