What speed 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 don't use 6th until 70mph. Tach is around 2400.

Ride by the seat of your pants.You can tell when to use 6th by the sound and feel.

Like the others, 70... mid 2k rpms. Anything below that, just doesnt seem to have the throttle response i like to maintain.

you should always keep your R's in the 2500 - 3000 range no matter what gear. 70 - 75 drop it into 6th.

With some upgrades I can now use 6th, about 60 mph just under 2,000 rpm's no more noise.

Anything above 60 on level road (60 = 2k rpm).
