If you have just the speedo, like on the Road King, the only tach you have is in the little digital read out window with the gear position. It is a little digital readout of rpm's you get to by cycling the info button. No redline indication like on the SG and RG etc.

I really miss the analog rpm readout. This part should be on the stock unit.
Interesting tidbit from reading the owners manual: The gear indicator is digital (of course) and is determined only by the
wheel speed and engine rpm. the brain has no idea what gear you are in, it just figures it out.
OP trust your rev limiter. just wrap it out until it kicks in. the answer as given above will be 5500 or less.

Ride it like you stole it and you'll figure it out 
.. While your at it, see where the speed limiter is too
FYI.. There are no dumb questions on the forums. Please don't ever feel that way. Some responses are abrasive, but everyone is here to help with their knowledge..

You are correct, there are no dumb questions on the forums, only dumb answers!

Wonder if you can have them install the https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...10-70900171--1 Speedo/tach in place of the stock unit by paying the difference in the price of the unit if you can get the original replaced under warranty???????
Would look great on my '18 114 Heritage Softail............
BTW, the Redline on my bike is now 6,400 RPM with the HD Torque Cam and SE reflash. Have hit it more than once......Top speed is still limited by the to 110-115 on the speedo however.............Also have hit it many times....
