I think it was in American Iron or Baggers, that I read that the 2010 gearset will NOT be usable in the older trannys.

If you're bothered that much by a noisy 5th gear, just look into a Baker F6F. It does fit pre 2010 6 speeds.

In the 2010 Tech Sheet it says if you install it in the earlier bikes the speedometer will be incorrect and the 6th gear light won't work.
