You don't need to spin the Detroit two-stroke 71-Series engine over 2150...its actual power output drops sharply past that point, and the engine is in its best...
Today I took my cruiser for a final ride before covering it for winter, and I had a chance to reflect a little on this thread. While its certainly everyones...
