Absolutely Dick......but if Chip isn't listening...
Reasons for Chip to install a 6 speed in Nancy's new bike
1 cost well worth the money
2 fuel economy it will make up the difference in the cost of the unit is under a month
3 reduced motor rpm's as we all know, running a twin cam at 1800 rpm's saves the motor, reduces fuel burn and is just all around better for the bike
This is how I see it;
1. Never will it make up the cost in a month.
2. I doubt seriously that anyone rides these bikes at 1800 rpm, but I understand what your saying.
3. Is there a return for your money......Nope.... just the pleasure the current owner will have riding it.
4. If the bike in question needed a 6 speed it would have come with it.
5. If the bike in question doesn't have 6 speed, it's probably a better designed motor.(that one will get some criticism) and really isn't required.
6. Is the cost really worth it, I had the 06 Autumn Haze and contemplated this modification, in the long run.....well you see what I ended up with. An 09 (6 speed) with a Motor that is less then the 06 motor (5 speed) as far as I am concerned.
Don't get me wrong I like what I have now, I just feel the 06 motor was stronger and of better design.
Once again these are my opinions and now based on cost, performance, and return.
