    I usually do around 5-6 but when I really want some boost I redline. I raced my friend's 750 cruiser who has been saying his bike would smoke mine yesterday, boy was that fun. We both started off at a red light and he thought he had me because he pulled ahead alittle bit. Then the turbo kicked in...

    Were those bars a straight fit or did you have to monkey around with the Cables and Lever Perches?

    I'd like to have something a little more forward. Not a whole lot. I ride for a couple of hours non-stop, so I'm getting used to sitting straight up, but I'd feel better in-the-saddle with a little bit more sitting (leaning) forward -- but, NOT hunched-over.

    Rick next time your at a dealer sit on a dirt bike and notice the flat bars don't bend your wrists and the width means less pressure to turn and more control
    it really makes it easy to hold on when you smack second, wider bars stick the mirrors out further too

    Crusing @ 45mph i was running about 4200rpms 5th gear

    and @ 55mph i was running about 5500rpms 5th gear.

    is this the norm?

    Also stuttered @ about 65mph if i just mash the throttle./ REV LIMITER?

    That's Normal for cruising.

    The stuttering could be any number of things ...
    ALL Carb cleanliness related.

    The Bores for the Diaphragm Pistons might need to be cleaned of oxidation which would cause a Piston to not rise of fall as it should.
