I probably had mine over 70 mph on the test ride. I didn't really follow any of their set speeds on any of my bikes. I did vary the speeds a lot though. Not letting it stay at one RPM/Speed for prolonged periods.
I've had good experience with the methods used in the page with several vehicles:

It may not be for you though, its your bike do what you want.

know what you mean about quiet, bought mine just under 2 weeks ago
and installed the slip on's night before last.
It sounded too much like a Shadow,now it sounds like a Harley.
also with the break in, i have been varying the speed with occasional
bursts up to 75, will hit 300 miles on way home from work today and then
with the scheduled rides for this weekend i hope to be over 500.

Love the sound of the pipes but you have to watch out for right hand turns, first thing to scrape is the bottom heat shield on the front of the pipe.

That's EXACTLY what I have been reading about. I rode my 1200 Custom Sporty HARD and realize this is a touring model and I need to take it easy a little around the turns. I can't wait to hear the sound and hope the Roland Sands Breather opens it up as well!
