Looking for someone out there in 883 land who owns a newer 883C (custom) who would be willing to do an acurate RPM vs. MPH chart. Say for 50, 60, and 70 MPH in 5th gear. I've called every HD dealer in the area and they have no idea (you think if anyone would it would be them)! We could keep that info here on the site for the new 883 owners. The manual gives an RPM for break-in, but gee without a tach... Thanks.

 

NO One?

 

my wife has an 02 883 custom with a tach, I took it for a spin last night and I noticed at 70 mph it was running about 3200.
But we have also figured out that when I'm doing 55 mph on my speedo on my heritage her speedo says 60 mph, don't know if mines 5 mph slow or hers is 5 mph fast but that shouldn't be to big an issue.
Sorry just saw your post today or I could have checked 50 & 60 mph for you too. If you need me to I might be able to do it tomorrow night, can't tonight.

 

You da man! Appreciate it. Thanks.

 

no problem, you need me to do 50 mph & 60 mph or can you figure it out with the 70 mph figure?

 

Twin Cams in 5th gear 70 mph tach 3000 r's

I suspect that the 883 sporty would be close to my 1200C and at 70 mph it tachs 3500.

 

If your out and make a note of it, I'll take it. We'll keep the data for the forum, I know this has and will surface again.

 

No the answer is "BUY A TACH". Wouldn't have a bike without one.
