Those dont look like no 70mph forks to me :blink:
Check for correct stock sprockets (like Ed said), and yes, those old 650's whined on the freeway.

Hello, Guido8587, and WELCOME to KZr! 
Caution: Wild Speculation Ahead. :laugh:
Perhaps the PO added touring accessories (fairing and bags), and then desiring a slower more relaxed rpm at cruising speed, changed the counter-shaft sprocket, but goofed up and fitted one tooth smaller rather than one tooth larger.
Oh ... Wait a sec! That's a roof support post -- not a sissy bar! :ohmy:
Good Fortune!

Count the teeth on your sprockets to see if your rpm makes sense for your mph or not before you go chasing clutch issues.

It's usually easy to notice when the clutch is slipping, because the rpm rises without a commiserate increase in road speed.
Good Fortune!

Someone got the idea a long time ago.
I think 6000 rpm on my old bike would get you 80 mph. I am not sure as I have not had my coffee. Roy
