When I'm on the highway doing 65-70 I find myself sorta wishing I had a 6th gear. Although I have no tach it seems to me the rpm's are a little on the high side. A friend of mine (also a triumph owner) told me he thought he read something once about changing out the front gear on these bikes to bring the rpm's down a bit at high speeds. Does anyone have any experience with this or any other information about this type of modification?

Pretty easy to do, but I don't remember where to tell you to get the gear. Stewart ....... "It's outside your field of expertise." "Poppycock normally is."

I moved up to a 19t and love it.
