Default RevTech 6 Speed Gear Set

Does anybody have any insight, knowledge or experience with the RevTech 6 speed gear set.
I have a 2005 FXD and am thinking about the 6 speed. I'm looking at the RevTech because of it's 5 year 50k warranty and it's relatively inexpensive compared to the Baker or HD. I don't really hot rod the bike or race so I'm thinking the RevTech would do the job but I haven't been able to find any reviews. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't seen anything on the RT 6 speed gear set. The warranty sounds attractive, but they have had QC problems with some of their other products in the past. Not much help, huh?

Hi Dyna,
I own a '98 FXD, with 50,000 miles and a standard H-D 5 speed.
I recently bought a '94 FXR and had the shop install a 6-speed before I drove it home.
I love the 6-speed for hiway driving - just slip it into 6th at about 65 mph and love the ride. My gas milage is generally above 50 mpg, depending on how many hiway miles I drove with that tank of gas.
I had initially specified a RevTech 6-speed, but because of a delivery problem, I got an off brand, but with the same warranty.
Again, I love my 6-speed on the hiway.

QC = Quality Control. I've heard several builders refer to them as "RevCrap". They are made in Korea. And while the warranty sounds good, if the bike is in the shop getting a new tranny too often, the warranty loses some of its shine.

I agree with Skip, they don't have the best rep around, that's for sure, the old saying USUALLY goes, you get what you pay for.

Just a some FYI before you purchase a 6 speed check the final gear ratio some are identicle to the 5 speeds final gear ratio .
