Default Gear reduction kits

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; As I have been reading on this forum, I keep running across referances to a "gear reduction kit"
&nbsp\\;to change the bikes gearing. Could somone direct me to more information on these?
&nbsp\\;I'd like to maybe install one to pull my tent camper easer with my 08 Classic.
&nbsp\\;Thanks,
&nbsp\\; G wizz

Changing the front sprocket would work on an older bike , but&nbsp\\;for the&nbsp\\; 07 &amp\\; 08's, there isn't a different sprocket avalable&nbsp\\;yet, since they did the gearing change with the six speed.
Least ways, that I've been able to find out. That is why I made the post. to find out if ther is now somthing avalable.

&nbsp\\;I'm thinking of doing this myself. There is a kit made that changes the front sprocket in the primary. It's built by www.evoinusa.com. Several people here have used them, I just emailed someone tonight to see how it's working out for him.
&nbsp\\;Just waiting for an answer. &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
