Change from 5 Speed To 6 Speed

I've owned bikes with 3, 4, 5 and 6 speed trans and looked for an extra gear on every one of 'em. If you buy a 6-speed, you'll find you 'need' a seven speed, and when you still look for that extra speed, whatyagonnadooo?! You're normal - at least as normal as anyone else in here, so keep on ridin'! And forget all about a 6-speed!!!!!

A good friend of mine has an 04 Screaming Eagle Electra Glide with the standard 103 in motor on it. He has been toying with the idea of dropping some money on a transmission upgrade to a six speed, Harley or Bakker but leaning toward Harley. We ride about 8 to 10k a year. I was just wondering how many of you have made this switch and if you found it worth while. Cost wise, performance wise, highway riding. I'm not talking about the newer bikes now coming with the 6th gear. Actually changing over to a 6 speed. I didn't have a 6th gear in my Wide Glide and now that I have it frankly if I didn't have it I don't know that I'd miss it. Anyway I told him I'd throw it out there and see what comes back. Thanks in advance>>>

Congratulations on commenting on a thread started in 2010.
Besides, a lot of people have spent a lot more on a lot older bikes.
In its own way it's no crazier than spending $30,000+ on a new one.nHell, I've bought homes for not much more than that.

I never even noticed when that post first went up or I never would have responded. I'd been driving myself crazy for over an hour trying to figure out what the gear ratios were on my old 2006 Dyna Low Rider vs. my 2015 Dyna Low Rider I just bought. I now have a 103 TC vs. the old 88 TC and they ride very differently and my MPG are way up, getting about 45-46 MPG, so I am naturally curious as to possible gear ratio changes. Apparently a lot of people are still commenting on this old post, but thanks for bringing it to my attention... maybe 7 year old posts should be deleted anyway...
