FOUND IT!
Below is a post from "DWM" Dave was the builder of Hanuman in the members
rides. What he didn't know he figured out and shared. - Mike

I wanted to know my RPMs at different speeds, so got this little tach;
http://www.tinytach.com/tinytach/gasoline.phpNot bad for $37 US, being digital, it's useless for shifting. but, if you need
a
tach to shift a
RE, you're stone deaf, and yer butt has gone to sleep. Also has a 2 second lag.
Anyway, here are speeds/RPMs, with a 19T countershaft sprocket on the five
speed.
(XT- extrapolated.interpolated)
50MPH-2870 RPM
55MPH XT - 3146 RPM
60 MPH - 3450 RPM
65 MPH XT- -3737 RPM
70 MPH - 4025 RPM
75MPH XT - 4312 RPM
80MPH - 4600 RPM
85MPH XT- 4887 RPM
Theoretical;
90 MPH XT - 5175 RPM
MAX RPM-5500 - 95MPH
The speeds above are from a GPS corrected speedo, and I think they're pretty
tight
numbers.
I don't think the bike would do 95 MPH if you pushed it off the Sinny Arbor
Bridge, but it
touches 85 with my 220 lb on board, so I think a lighter rider would see 90.
(535cc, 8.5:1. 34mm Mikuni, short Brit exhaust, K&N)
More importantly, it means my "75 MPH all day, 80 to pass only," are usable
limits. I just
can't see that motor objecting to 4300 RPM. It sure sounds relaxed.
Below are extrapolated numbers for 19 and 18 tooth sprockets;
18T (19/18ths of above RPM)
50MPH-3029 RPM
60MPH-3642 RPM
70MPH-4249 RPM
80MPH-4855 RPM
17T (stock, 19/17ths of 19T readings)
50MPH-3207 RPM
60MPH-3855 RPM
70MPH-4498 RPM
80MPH-5141 RPM
BTW, I installed the black bar-end mirrors from CMW on "Lady Triumphantes", the
$15
ones, and they have been fine. Of course, the Trumpet vibrates a bit less.
Best,
DWM
