I have a sportster 883, its an 2005 so it is rubber mounted. The only mods to it are a K & N air filter and V & H pipes. I use the bike to commute between college and Home, when I'm on the freeway at about 75 mph the engine seems to really be going, since my bike doesn't have a tach, I don't know what rpms I'm pulling. Is it hard on the bike to cruise at 70-75 mph continuously?
Since the Sportys don't hve a tach, they do have a rev limiter, although I am not sure I would rely on it. I have had my 08 up to 115 no problem. If you are concerned, you can add a tach quite easily.
