WIth the stage 1 and duals, I can run 6th at about 60mph and up and not lug the bike and it still has quick throttle response.

Me?

PCIII, Big Sucker and Supertrapp SE's all from FuelMoto.

Great map but needs a little fine tuning, I think it's a little rich at WOT.

I have all the upgrades that can be done to 103, anything below 70 is lugging in 6th gear.

What speed do most of you cruise at in 6th gear? Most of us Road King owners don't have a tach. so I'm curious of the coralation between speed and rpm's.
I have the Road King Custom with a PIII, K&n filter and V&H basic slip-on's and I use 6th gear at 65 MPH.

I don't think about 6th gear until 72-75mph. I like 6th for Interstate Hwy doing 75-80 mph. Even then to get 3000 rpm I'm going about 84-85. I used to try to run 3000 to 3200 on my 1996 but with the 07 2800 to 3000 rpm. Hope that's not going to clog it up.
