RE: Gear vs Rpm vs Speed Charts
ORIGINAL: 1200efi
 \\;\\\\\\;08 1200C rev limit comes on at 5900, bought a tach with a shift light, set that at 5400, by the time my reflexes get moving I'm at 5850-5900. works out ok. Would like to get up to 6000-6200 but dealer will not do it for me. [:@]

Can't Download the charts
Would someone please repost the charts originally put up by cHarley? I don't get a link. Would love to take a look. I just bought a 2001 Sportster with quite a few miles on her and once I get in the 75mph range it feels like she is going to shake to pieces. It was an 883 that was converted up to a 1200. I'm assuming the gears were never upgraded and am going to count teeth when I get home tonight. No tach so some charts would be great.

Since most Sportster owners don't have tachs on their bikes and questions pop up here regarding Speed vs RPMs, I though some of you might find these charts handy.
Notes:
I based these charts on gearing for the 04 & up Domestic (US & Canada) models.
Tires from different manufactures can vary slightly in size, these charts are based on an average stock 150/80-16 rear tire.
