Try this, it's getting old but a good point of reference.

I tested this on my trip home on Tennessee going down 75. My street glide was pretty much only needing 5th gear above 70mph. I usually shift into 6th when 5th gear hits around 3,200 rpm.

Only if I'm going to be cruising consistently at 65 or higher.

Forgot to mention... I have them... I have Stage II kit and the cams. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about lack of power or anything... I am simply saying that the shifting pattern is different than my 96 Dyna
