99 Road King has 5000 RPM red line. Do you ride up to 5000? Or 4500?

 

You running it at a drag strip? It's a touring bike!

 

I don't think my bike has ever seen 4000 RPM. It's just not necessary.

 

i have redlined mine a few times, but not very often and not for very long.

 

if yer not burrying it in redline, you ain't riding. Rev limiters are are for wusses

 

The only reason to red line either of my HD's would be to get my *** out of harms way. I no longer feel the need to drag race my street bikes. If you wish to loan me one of your bikes ---I will check out your rebuilder and your bank account. I am sometimes still a kid at heart.

 

oh that's right.....we're talking Harleys. As Zeus33 would say, "you would buy something else if you wanted to go faster than 40"

 

Bunch of old grandpa's on this board. LOL

Ya'll are missing out on some super fun!

When horseplaying, I try to shift as close to my rev limit as possible (6200).
I don't horseplay on every ride and often go many rides without play.
But it is fun, when I do.

 

 

what's a tach?
