RE: "No tach" is a drag for Sportsters.
Learn to feel the torque band......Shift when thrust peaks, or just before.
Sportsters are designed to be ridden aggressively, so be aggressive with it.....When you do ride like like that, you ain't got time to look at a tach-your eyes need to be glued to the road and traffic and your ears bent on the pipes.
If your commute to/from work consists of a few red lights and lots of slab, then start taking the long way to/from home/work.......Stay on the back roads and side streets and drive that bitch like you stole her.....It's a sportster and she turns to stone as soon as she hit 5th gear on the super slap. She is designed to slice n dice, not fall in line.

Turns to stone? Are you outta your mind? I dont even shift to 5th g till 80 and she will do upwards of 130...., yup a real rock... maybe you DO need a tach...the seat of yourpants may be lying to you...
as for the topic, just wind it out till you think your gonna blow it up then twist it again. If if boggs down your getting near 6.8k unless you got the coil and the module beefed up. Then you better know where it is by feel or get a tach. I know by feel. It feels literaly like its gonna shake your feet off the bike....
