My ride just arrived back safe & sound. Bart - It looks GREAT!!!!

Once I get back on my feet I'll see about taken a few picks & see if anyone can identify the "secret" change.....

HarleyPaw - we both went with 28/37 in the primary .

Let's guess what it is.... A vibrating seat. It works off the engine so it won't run the battery down. When the engine starts up, the seat automatically turns on the vibrating option and automatically turns off when the engine shuts off.

Am I close?

If you went with a "quicker" gear on the primary, and installed the six speed, dont you end up about the same on the top gear as fifth was before? I am considering also changing the gearing, a little quicker off the line, better pull in the lower gears, and have been troubled with the decision as 6th is a dream at 75+ mph.

Damnit Craig! It was a SECRET. All I needed was a weekend to practice & I was gonna post a video running the obstacle course i reverse. Well now that the cat's out... no need for that! [8D]

Daltonhg~ It's kinda like best of both worlds. Not only are the lower gears more agressive, 6th is still lower cruise RPM than stock. I think that what you said you were looking for. Check out this RPM calculator to get an idea: http://www.bakerdrivetrain.com/dialu...s/rpmCalc.html

Tbone ~ I already have that!

OK.... DR told me rolling my bike out in the sun would be good therapy. So I took advantage of that opportunity to snap a quick photo.

Can ya see the reverse gear now?
