RPM while cruising at 80mph

Ya and so you know
My last furnace I had in the shop was a Lucifer Red Devil II
2200 F upper furnace and 1200 F tempering oven in the bottom. Man talk about cooking a steak fast.

I wanna come over for supper!

I’m thinking any furnace named Lucifer has got to get **** hot....

First on the Touring I have no tach so I have no idea what I am running as far as RPMs.

The engine is so different than anything else out there I am not sure I would want to compare it to a Harley Twiin.

With the torque this thing has I always thought the proper gearing would be a 2 speed transmission. Start and GO

Yep two years after I retired they were trying to program it but did not have the password tried everything they said to guess the password to no avail. I told them its a lucifer furnace try 666 as the password

I dunno...I think the touring trans is about right.....slight overdrive, and yes, you CAN wring the throttle back and pass whomever very easily. I think THAT's why the gears are where they are. If they really wanted to make a sedate tourer they coulda done it. But they were building a ROCKET! And that's what we bought!

Sorry to disappoint you Fred my man but my hypocrisy only goes so far when I am in my van or car or even just walking around I am as much as a ***** as the rest of you

You should install a tach on your Touring. First thing I did to mine and really great to drive with. Tach and speedo put together and you can tell which gear your in.

I think they are called AUTOMATICS.

What it really needs is an overdrive gear or 6th gear. Now your talking lets get speeding tickets.

I would love it . . .

With that much torque available the motor would have no problem.

Seems that way to me. I imagine something like a CVT.
