Best way to break in a V twin engine?!

I just finished up a rebuild on a xb12, complete new lower, and top end. I filled her up with 10w30, and shes purring like a lion. I keep reading different ways to break in the engine. For instance for "x" amount of miles keep it under 3k, then progressively increased. Another is to keep it under 4 grand for the first 500 miles. I know I don't want to redline it obviously, but what do y'all recommend?
