experience with twistgear?
Anyone used or installed a twistgear? It is suppose to increase low end "tire" torque like a 3.37:1 primary gear, by changing gear ratios in 1-4. But with one key difference. It maintains 5th gear ratio for highway gas mileage.

Pretty interesting. Decent price of $495 for the kit.
It's close ratio as well, so I wonder what 4-5 will be like. I spend a lot of time in 4th, and it would suck to have a dead spot if its drastic.
Don't know anything about them though...

RE: experience with twistgear?
No experience, but I'm certainly researching now. Very interesting possibilities, can go with the TwistGear, change a sprocket to reduce RPMs in 5th, and be back to near stock final ratios on 1-4th. Or add the TwistGear and keep the stock sprockets and be close ratio on 1-4th. Some interesting options delineated on the site. Gonna have to look more into it, as I like the price tag as well...
