2.5L Rocket Stroker Engine Kit with 6 Speed Transmission (R&D)

[warp9.9]

So here is a silly question: Would the intellectual work to produce parts for a sixth gear, be available to those of us who would like six gears without changing anything else in the engine ? And I presume this could be done with the engine in situ ?

Ya I t can be put insityou have the engine out and split open

No Paul, the Engine needs to be removed and stripped to get at the Gear box.

SO you want a 6th gear for gas mileage cruising on an open highway ?

I want it because (a) i want to cruise at 80mph at much lower rpm
(b) nobody else in the world will have it... at least right away... plus bragging rights of having an extra gear and ridiculous "theoretical" top speed
(c) it's an engineering challenge which i enjoy
(d) there's a market there for the kit

better gas mileage isn't a priority for me - if it was, i would have stopped after the Carpenter kit and left the supercharger (aka gas guzzler) off!

Correct. Overall reduced RPM - reduced stress - better fuel economy -- for all the Touring bikes.

YES makes sense if your on the highways a lot I dont do that much long distance highway cruising but IM sure some of the rocketeers do
