I have a 2002 fatboy (carburetor). Our speed limits here in BC are mostly 90 Kilometers an hour or 55 MPH. Can any one tell me what RPM I would be running in fourth gear at 55 MPH. I dont have a tach.
Thanks in advance

 

Not sure on FB gearing my my '00 Electra would have been about 2500 if memory serves.

 

OP'r - I think you probably want RPM in 5th gear?

 

Here we go again... Why not add a small-ish cheap tach so you'll know what your rpm is at any speed ?

Here's a fairly cheap version

Just asked a simple question. I dont want a tach as I want my bike completely stock. If you dont know the answer to my question why even comment.

 

Simple questions in here sometime bring out the silly in some.
55 mph on that FB should be around 2200 rpm.
FB was never a speedster, it was built to putt. 100 mph pushing it.
Gear box and 6 speed changed it up eventually.

My '05, 95 CI, 5 speed, gold badge anniversary edition.

 

Touchy for a Canadian, eh?

 

He's asking RPM @ 55 mph in "fourth" gear, Guys

best i can help, Ger (which may be no help at all)
My '04 Deuce (5sp trans/stock TC88) would be around 2900 or so @55mph in fourth gear


..L.T.A.

 

Gear Ratio:
1st 10.11
2nd 6.958
3rd 4.953
4th 3.862
5th 3.15

Gear ratio, has to be a calc for that. Just sayin

 

Not touchy at all. Just seems there are always some idiots that respond with a stupid remark when some one asks a sincere question. If they cant answer just keep your thoughts to your self. This forum is supposed to be about helping others.
