I know Dave is right, it just bugs me to get on a cruiser expecting to just loaf along and wind up running 4k RPM at 60 If I change my thinking as I noted, then 4k doesn't seem all that frantic most of the riding we did on the sisters run and pretty much any highway running is, to me, in the 'frantic' part of the RPM range, though that's where the power is I like MMs idea of gearing up, and only using 5th for highway cruising, but haven't the resources to do that yet I also think the riding position is what does it to me, on a Standard the same RPM would bother me not at all Yesterday I stopped by the local Yamaha dealer and saw a new iteration of the Bolt It had a built-up seat with a 'cafe cowling' in the back, mid controls,and clip-on type bars Gave the bike a whole different feel, though I'd prefer the standard bar with that setup. I think the forward lean was more than on Dave's Cafe that bike I'd push with no qualms I really need to gather some resources an customize my bike, but right now I'm more focussed on improving my living situation, a 16x8 bunkhouse trailer is sorta cramped, as a homre
