It Depends on your starting point as to the order of routes.
Our starting point is Spearfish.
Day one
Sturgis, Dead wood, Spearfish canyon.
Day Two
We do Iron mountain road the wildlife loop then on to needles hwy in one day. You could fit in Rushmore also. It would make a long day.
Day Three
Devils Tower, Hulett Wy. Stone House or Sundance.
Day Four
Keystone, Custer, Hill city and Crazy Horse. Going through Spearfish canyon at least once that day. Usually both ways.
Days 5 6 7 are more of the same. We just use these days for going back to the spots we would like to spend more time at.
This year we are spending Three nights in Cody before going to Sturgis.
Oh yea don't forget Nemo. Also the Prairie Berry Winery in Hill city is a good stop. (wine tasting and they ship bottles home for you)

for mount rushmore, we like to go to the evening lighting ceremony. they do a short film on the construction of mount rushmore and one of the park rangers gives a short presentation. we park in the ramp there but tell them you want a 1 day parking pass, otherwise they sell you a yearly pass.

So all of these replies are great.
Keep in mind one thing. There really isn't any bad riding once you get into the Black Hills. Just decide what you want to see and head that direction. The ride there and back will be beautiful.
One thing to keep in mind, Badlands was mentioned. It gets hot. I mean south Texas Arizona hot. It is like a desert down in there. So if you go, bring water along to stay hydrated.
