I ran it in as hard as my nerve would allow, this being my first cruiser and first bike in 5 years. Took it to 7k RPM in 2, 3 and 4th on the 30 mile trip home. Still wind it up now-it's booked in for it's first service in 2 weeks.
The Triumph tech at our local dealer agreed with running in hard, as does someone one here who's recently taken his engine apart. Not sure who it is but I'm sure it's someone who's just fitted a BB kit (sweat, maybe?)-they said the internals were almost perfect.
I will add that I changed the oil at 70 miles and I'm glad I did-twas full of junk!! I replaced with a cheap, fully-non-synthetic (eh?) 10/40W.
Only time will tell.
