7 gears and still no OD gear. I wish they would make one with a 1:1 6th and a slight overdrive in 7th for crusing, these bikes all make plenty of torque to pull down the road at a lower RPM considering my 5 speed has a 1:1 5th probably just a higher finial drive than the 6 speed bikes do.

Even though the 7th gear is still only a 1:1 ratio its a direct drive from the primary, hence the DD part. If you look at the ratio and rpm charts on bakers site the seventh gear gives a lower rpm than the HD sixth. Supposed to be smoother also.
I have a two speed in my bike "Fast and Stop".

Yes, I would like a taller 7th Gear...like 1.1, particularly for on the TriGlide that runs 10% higher RPM.
For those that never use 6th, unless you are over 70... where are you riding?
