Sounds normal to me.
It’s not gonna have the low end torque that that v twin does.
I know mine, it does seem to run higher rpm then I’d like at cruising speed.
That’s just one of the differences between a
bigger twin vs an inline 4.
Add a tooth to the countershaft sprocket,
or drop 2 or 3 teeth on the rear sprocket will give taller gearing. This will help drop the rpm of the motor at cruise, and give more absolute top end speed, but will sacrifice even more low end torque.
That’s basic gearing 101.
For low end torque this helped my 79f.
I’ve drilled I think 6- 1/2 inch holes in the bottom of my air box. To help the thing breathe better. I still run a paper air filter.
I also increased jetting 2 sizes, figuring more air I could add more fuel to the mixture. With the holes in the box, 75/110 jets, and stock gearing it seems to run stronger throughout.
Still no where near the low end a Dyna has,
but it is better. Better to the point I feel 2 teeth off the rear just might be next to help with motor rpm when cruising at say, 65 or 70 mph.
I mean, nowadays, around here anyway,
you don’t run that yer in the way.
Hope this helps guy.
