Default trans or motor

I have a 2005 ultra with a 95 in her now power com. and true duels runs good I do a lot of touring and riding hard into the curves every day Fort Worth traffic is in there too so would my money be better spent on a 6 -speed or more motor??

I put a SE 6 speed in my Ultra last summer, Sweet!! Most of my ridding is typically in 5th but I will take the long way home, 4 mile down the highway just to use 6th! But the backtrack when I get off is good too. And it made the trip to NC so much nicer.
