Around town it's a 1 down and 3 up bike. Never hit 5th till I'm out on the highway.
That's basically how I ride too. I can't really ride in 5th unless I'm going at least 50. So sometimes when the speed limit is 45 I cheat a little.

Yeah, you are lugging the engine....Run it into higher RPM's before shifting.&nbsp\\; 5th gear is way to high for 50MPH...Hell, my rev limiter is just kicking in around 47-50mph in 1st....and that's 2up....[sm=happybounce.gif]....

2-5/8" Mini Tach Kit with Shift Light - Black Face

Now available with an attention-grabbing rider-selectable shift light, these chrome-plated, 0-8,000 RPM mini tachometers add style and function. Measuring 2-5/8 inches in diameter, these chrome-plated tachs boast superior illumination and high-quality construction. The hard-coated lens is both fog and scratch-resistant and is ultrasonically welded to the case, resulting in a strong, reliable seal. These tach kits deliver impressive accuracy and response. Our exclusive, balanced pointer design allows for a quick, precise needle sweep and minimal low idle flutter. Plus, reverse polarity and over-voltage protection ensures these quality tachs are immune to voltage surges, low-voltage interference and ignition coil inductive kick-back. Tested to the highest industry standards, each kit is specifically designed for each model, with styling that matches current speedometer graphics, including a lighted pointer. Complete wiring, hardware, and installation instructions are included.
