I was looking at my manual and it say’s that I should be in 6th gear at 55. I do not understand this, to me this seams to slow of speed to be in that gear but the Harley manual say’s to.

I think it's best to let the sound a feel of your motor dictate your gear,,, my '10 Road King doesn't like being in 6th unless I am at 70 +

No way! Even at 70 it's almost not enough! Go ahead and do it, then roll on the go and listen to the bitch ping! Guaranteed!
