My Interceptor is turning about 6600rpm at 100mph in 6th gear, which is just below the VTEC engagement at 7000rpm when its switches from running on 2 valves per cylinder to running on 4 valves per cylinder, and then it pulls hard all the way to its 12,500rpm redline.
The Honda VTX1300 which is a v-twin cruiser like your bike is running 3000rpm in 5th gear at 70mph. It also has a single-pin crankshaft like your bike and actually feels pretty smooth at that speed.
As for the engine & tranny being one piece, thats very unusual for a Harley.. are you sure you just dont have a solid primary cover connecting your seperate engine and tranny? Thats not so uncommon.
