Two questions for the group:
Approximately when (in what RPM range), do you UP SHIFT, (from first 
to second, second to third, etc)? Highway/Street?

In general, on the highway, how high in RPM's do you go in fifth (for 
those who have fifth!), on your bike?

Up to now I almost never go over 3500 to 4000.  I just put a set of 
Andrews N4 Cams on my bike, (it SCREAMS!), and I feel like I can go a 
lot higher.  I'm being told the safe zone is now up to 6000RPM.

Appreciate the info!
