I agree with you that even in 6th @ 70 mph, it seems that engine is asking for a 7th gear. Is this normal?
I usually shift into 6th right after 5th..... Sorry, but was the first thing I thought of.
There are too many conditions and variables to answer this question intelligently.

That was my thought too.Since I have been riding a shovel for the last 30 years ,I ain't used to having 6 gears anyway.What are the other 2 for?
2016 Tri Glide Ultra Billet Silver
Like the commercial says, "When the moments right, just be prepared "
2012 Triglide Piaggio MP3 500 to get groceries 1991 FLHS as back up

Try the M8 u will be amazedI only look at the tach when I shift, usually around 2600~2900 rpm's.
Never used the speedometer as an indicator.
Sometimes like frostbite51 said = by sound/feel.
My dealer's old shop manager told me never use 6th under 55mph - it doesn't seem like it, but you are lugging the engine below that.

Current ride : 2021 FREEWHEELER M8, oldest ride 1960 FL
The M8 has a lot more low end torque than the 103 twin cam therefore i am able to shift into 6 about 50-55 riding solo and not lug the engine,when riding double its about 55-60,even after i did an air cleaner gutted cat,slip-ons and a power vision tune on my 16 Tri the motor didnt like 6th until about 2500-2700 rpm.
