I knew where you were coming from and 5500 is about where I want to know whats going on for my bike. Thanx again. And as the post reads "5500 Rpm on a Dyna" not top RPM's.

So with an engine that's about 50% less horsepower than that, what is it that you now know?

I think what he was interested in is the speed in gears at 5500 RPM.

Going past 5000 is a waste IMO as the torque curve falls off so much. The SERT takes it to 6200 and is adjustable. I have had a Master Harley Tech tell me you can go 6450 with the TC88A motor. But I won't go past 6000.
