Like another said, I have a RK Classic and don't have a tach, I just make sure I have adequate response if I have to throttle up. I donwnshift to accomplish this.
I reckon, like most bikers who are familar with their bike, I just have a "feel" for it.

ignore wherever you read 55 in 6th, that's crap. that definitely will lug your engine. 6th gear is right for about 70 up. My 08UC likes 5th gear to about 65 -70. 6th gear lower than 65 is about the lowest. 60 is really hurting your gas mileage in 6th, it may crusie at 60 but it's lugging in 60 too.
