I had the six speed put in a while back, but have only in the last two days got to really try it out. I found that if you are truly cruisin, it is awesome, but coming through Atlanta with everyone gunnin for me, I never got out of 4th or 5th at anywhere from 65 to 85 mph. When you wind out 5th gear, you are definately looking for 6th more than I used to be, so I got to think that 5th gear is not all that it used to be. When in 6th gear cruising at 70- 80, and you want to pass somebody, or do something that you know your bike can do, if you are in 6th, you can't, if you give it the gas it will eventually start to take over... it takes awhile, it takes it own time. At 75 in 6th, you nearly feel like you are going to lug the motor, it is that much of a difference. I will be able to tell you more in seven weeks on the return trip, I will have less things nagging at me and more time to think about it. Have fun for those of you riding, just met three guys from SD who trucked to AL to the school we are all attending. It looks like a good 7 week boon doggle. [smiley=laugh.gif]
