I use the whole range. I just wanted you to explain how to move the torque curve around. I know freer flowing pipes will move it up.

Norm - retiming cams sounds easy - but really it's not. I think if you were taking the STREET CAM route you'd be better speaking with @Neville Lush - I certainly would.
Those of us with THUGS pipes saw a increase of mid range disproportionate to the top end gains. I know I have Supertrapp discs on mine - but they're cosmetic to stop policemen looking in. By supertrapp's reckoning they're open. Open pipes don't HAVE to raise the bar.
I use the full rev range almost every ride - but would love to have a higher and flatter torque curve for fast cruising. 50-100mph to cover 65-90mph comprehensively. Sadly major engine mod's here will almost certainly mean failing the MoT emmisions controls. As it is I have to refit the stock pipes (with cat) and apply the stock map for each inspection. Swapping cams would be too much.

NO point in spending money and time on a bike that already has all the power you need to ride in that manner at those speeds leave it stock and enjoy the ride the only mod I would do is remove the complete exhaust from the header back and install a small free flowing slip on muffler .

TOTALLY un needed heavy power robbing mufflers that clutter up the back of the bike BUT whatever turns you onI prefer pontoons Art.

WE dont dyno at 2000 rpm thats too low in the powerband and we dont reccomend riding that low lugging the engine is not a good habit

I am new to the Rocket. Just bought a new 2018 and just finished breakin. You say 2000 rpms lugs the engine? I dont ride that low a lot but I dont find it to be lugging.

@BDClone Just FYI: you quoted someone who has largely been discredited, and in any case, is no longer allowed on this site for behavior unacceptable to others.
As it is, I don't know anyone who has brains enough to operate a manual transmission (and it doesn't take much by life's observations) operates the engine in RPM ranges inappropriate to the extant conditions and situation.
