RE: New 6 speed
I think you're a little confused. There is no gear whine, clatter or any other noise in the Screaming Eagle 6spd gearset. It's a great transmission. I have well over 60K miles on mine in my '03 Heritage and it has performed flawlessly for each and every mile. \\; The Screaming Eagle 6spd is an overdrive transmission. The transmissions the have been complained about in this forum are the factory direct drive 6 speeds installed in the '06 Dynas and all the '07 and '08 bikes. These are the transmissions that have had noise problems.

I recently went with the 6 speed gearset, best money I've spent. No whining or clatter. Clunk is not as noticeable, also went with the auto primary chain tensions since we were in there. Not needed but I thought why not.

RE: New 6 speed
I looked at cost, my SE 6 gearset was considerably less expensive than the entire trans, HD 6 speed unit and the DD6 unit. Labor is about the same. Keeping it all HD was the other factor in my decision, plus my research that the SE 6 gearset is "better" than the standard HD 6 speed. I am happy with my decision and have only put about 800 miles on it so far, but am getting ready for a 5K mile trip next month. JMHO[sm=smiley20.gif]
