#103253 Gram (Admin) Musky took my beer! Admin Posts: 2434 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   wilburn wrote: Referring to RoadieSL's topic on Cruising speed, does anyone know if there is a six speed tranny to fit our roadies? That sure would be nice because at about 85 or so mine sounds like another gear would do the rpms a favor. Unfortunately the R* engine and tranny are in one single case. No seperating one from the other. That type of mod would either be a case mod to chop off part of it and create mounting flanges for a tranny, or it would be a replacement for the internal transmission.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #103255 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH?

So...the old jab in the ribs is a universal sign for "stop that stupid". I am generally very conservative and careful when we ride, but every now and then I pretend I'm 20 years old and that generally earns me a jab in the ribs.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #103353 roadhog1 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 208 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   I would like a 6 speed, i am always pulling in the clutch and making sure im not in 4th gear. roadhog1   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103359 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   shacky wrote: Why not move up to 33 tooth primary? Woould be a lot cheaper than custom fitting 6 speed tranny That's what I'm doing. Just waiting on my 33-tooth drive pulley to arrive. I tend to do longer rides and find that the most common speeds put me at the whiny side of one gear and the luggy side of the next one up. Hoping the new setup will let me stay in the lower gear for and increase the MPG a wee bit. I might be the rare one of the bunch here, because how quickly the bike jumps off the line just doesn't do it for me. Riding comfortably for 200-500 miles of two-lane in a day does, though, and saving a few pennies in the process on gas won't hurt either.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103370 BIGBEN1 (User) BIG UGLY BEN Fresh Boarder Posts: 34 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   How much of a RPM drop would a 33 tooth pully have?   Logged     I\\\\\\\'M A Ret.

Junior Boarder Posts: 179 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   Heh, y'all think the Roadie revs high at highway speed take a VStar 1100 out for a ride... my dad's 5th is like my 4th gear. We should be happy And I agree, 65-70mph is a kick back with a hand on your knee kind of cruisin' speed. Dan   Logged     Cowboys like us sure do have fun, racin the wind, chasin the sun. We\'ll take the long way around back to square one. Today we\'re just outlaws out on the run. There\'ll be no regrets, no worries and such, for cowboys like us.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103375 AKATIREGUY (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 9 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   If you want to fly instead of cruise..... Road Warrior is for you. I know but it is not comfortable for the wife. Then no one will be jabbing you in the ribs to slow down. Maybe you should look into a smaller Belt pulley for the rear wheel. You will lose a little on the low end but gain on top.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103389 warstar (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 156 Re:Six Speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   Yeah... A 6th would be nice (I too pull in the clutch from time to time,trying to hit that imaginary gear) It's time for Dyna box,cams,pistons,etc.etc. and a 33 tooth! -Warstar   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
