Does anyone have a safe RPM limit recommendation for a V7 Cafe with an 820cc big bore kit?

Does anyone have a safe RPM limit recommendation for a V7 Cafe with an 820cc big bore kit?
In October I'm planning to ride from Katy, Texas to the Barber Motorsports racetrack and museum in Alabama, which is some 700 miles away. The majority of the the riding will be on freeways at speeds in excess of 75MPH. So I was wondering if the V7 can handle 75-80MPH for hours at a time.RPM limiter is built into the ECU. Also Guzzi tends to be conservative in their RPM limits.
well that's two different questions...In October I'm planning to ride from Katy, Texas to the Barber Motorsports racetrack and museum in Alabama, which is some 700 miles away.

I checked my owner's manual and there is no maximum RPM stated anywhere that I could find, hence my question.

well that's two different questions...
to the first: yes.
to the second: 7800rpm, though you're relying on the hazy memory of a stranger. 7200 for the V7IIIs, I believe. no clue why they're different.
I can't comment on the 850cc kit. But my V7III regularly cruises at 85 mph + for hours at a time on trips. No issues at all.So I was wondering if the V7 can handle 75-80MPH for hours at a time.
Thank you for that information.I can't comment on the 850cc kit. But my V7III regularly cruises at 85 mph + for hours at a time on trips. No issues at all.
Are you going off from the speedo?I can't comment on the 850cc kit. But my V7III regularly cruises at 85 mph + for hours at a time on trips. No issues at all.
You may get valve bounce first, so that's not a surefire way to set max revs.Wind open the throttle in neutral until it throws a rod through the crankcase. Then back off the revs 500 rpm next time!
Great to hear from you and hope your operation was a success!Factory redline on the 2010 is 7600 RPM. They'll sit @ 105 mph all day long. Top out with the 820 kit ~120 mph indicated if fueled correctly. To state for the record, this is not my 820 kit on Jason's build.
