Default 5 to 6 speed kit

I have a 1984 FLHTC with a 5 speed tranny. I've heard there is a kit that you can swap out the guts and make it a six speed. My question is, do you have to buy a kit or can you just swap the gears from a six speed with the ones from my five speed?

Baker. A buddy has his 5 to 6 conversion, and his transmission shifts like butter!
