Default best 6 speed for 01 Ultra?

Have got my01 Ultrawith S&S 510 G cams, V&H True Duals, SE mufflers with turn downs and PCIII/USB with custom dyno.....Max power 68.81 Max Torque 82.54.......OK I know this has probably cover somewhere before...sorry but one more time please.....my next move is a 6 speed. can't decide on SE 6 speed gear set, SE complete transmission, possible Baker DD6. Leaning toward a complete transmission replacement. I would like to drop my rpm at cruising speed above 65 mph. Any ideas or suggestions. Most of my riding is done at 60 mph or above.

I've heard nothing but good thngs with the Baker unit. I'm not qualified to give advice on it since I have not had experience with it myself. Somebody I met had installed a Baker and absolutley swore by it. Take it for whatever it's worth.

As mentioned before, Baker DD6 is the best choice. You can get one for only $200 over the SE gearset so to me it's a no brainer.

Youch, I think I better stick with my plans for 3.37 gearing for now and wait a long long time before Mama would ever go for that.
