How fast are you guys running 4th gear out to, before RED LINE or shifting into 5th

That depends on driving conditions; and the need for speed. It is never the same.

If you don't have a place to safely find out, just run the bike up to half the redline RPMs, then double your speed.

I can only help a little. Due to riding tail with the group today and being rather gusty in middle western Wisc. To day, red line in 3rd is 95 mph.🙀

Well, you know I always went for the screamers! And 3rd is my screamer.....4 and 5 are just kinda like moaners, they're fun fun, but they ain't not screamers.

Once the farmers cut there corn down their will be better sight lines ,"DEER" sight lines. We are entering rutting season and we know how guys get when in season. Then deer hunting and deer being flushed out. Motorcycles and riders lose even when the deer loses. We have some really tall corn and it's close to the roads. Today we were dodging farm dogs, turkys and Eagles.

I don't need 6th but I always seem to be looking for it. It is the same on my 1981 CB750K. I always find my self shifting one extra time.

Maybe you should add a GIpro. Here's the one for you:

I've appreciated mine more than I ever thought I would. And, it's plug-n-play on the "B".
