Reverse Gear

[baconboy]

Ok I know I am going to get some abuse over this but here I go. Has anyone fitted a reverse gear to their rocket? Can it be done?

I have two...a left foot and right foot

Seriously, though, there have been times I wish the bike did have one!

I think if anyone was going to take on something that major, it would be to add a 6th gear to hit that elusive 200 MPH that the Rocket is currently unable to achieve because of gearing.. Oh.. and also to lope along at freeway speeds...

I can believe that with all you technical wizards on here making removable sissy bars, custom mods, etc that no one has given it a crack. How does it get done when you convert to a trike?

Some of us don't need an extra gear to reach that.

OK Baconboy - I'm from South Wales too so you can have a look at mine if ya want - R3 trike - with a Elite differential and the reverse is in the diff. So theoretically it can go as fast backwards as forwards - might try that one of the days. Cheers. Ron

One more gear

I'm with you TxR. I have said many times Triumph could figure a way to stuff a 6th gear in that tranny. Just to get better gas mileage of course.

Show off. Don't Goldies use the starter motor for reverse? Not sure ours would be up to that.

maybe with the stronger starter mod it would be possible.
