If you want some serious gearing go with p/n# 40200-02. It list for $134.95. That will get you around 3.71 final.Changes your primary from 1.44 to 1.7. It consist ofa new primary chain and front sprocket.

Anyone got the HD P/N's needed to complete this job? I have a feeling my stealership is not going to know what the heck I'm talking about at the parts counter! [:@]

Bryan.... If you find a really good deal on the S/E 6speed gearset & get two ([8D]), I'm in on this project!
As many miles as we log on trips, there's no way 80mph @ 3450 works for me. Combine that ratio with an OD & that sounds like a hot ticket!

I've had the SE 6 speed and 3.37 gears for some time now, and love them. I would say anyone doing a lot of highway time would need the 6 speed to cool the engine down a little, most of my highway riding is in the 80 to 85 range, with the 6 speed your final ratio is 2.94, that's higher than a stock gear ratio with a 5 speed
If most of your riding is around town do the 3.37's and you'll love it
If your a highway person, do the 3.37 anyway and add the 6 speed

Bryan,yes we have given up on the Spyke people, seems like they really dont care, a shame to cause their price was right. If you dont get the SE the baker is the way to go, and I will hook you up. Had the drag specialties rep by Friday, and he is trying to work out some special pricing for us. I will know more about that in a day or two.

I've got factory 3:37 gearing. '99-'01 FI bikes came with 3:37. I've never really felt the need for a 6th gear. I've put 64k miles on my bike, most of it on the interstate, the extra revs over the 3:15 bikes doesn't bother me. I like to twist the throttle in high gear and go.

Great to hear! We always appreciate unbiased reviews. You may have talked me into doing mine. Is 80 mph cruising out of the question now?
