You are probably referring to the bantor surrounding the 16 tooth front sprocket change. With that
mod done, you will reach your max speed in 4th utilizing 5th gear as a cruising or "overdrive". It's only because
the 16 tooth changes the powerband a bit.

Also, 75 mph??? You shittin me?? At 6'-1 280lbs. I'm lucky to keep 65 to 68 mph w/ no headwind. But some
physically smaller folks have reported over 80 mph. I'll take the Harley if I need to go that fast.
