[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1412861, member: 19411"] As I have stated in various posts on this Forum, if you want the 6th gear benefit on your 5sp FJR simply have the final drive re-geared with the Star Venture guts. Also go to a 190/55 rear tire. That will give you 4100rpm at 85mph. The cost to have the final drive done is or was $300. An added benefit with the 190/55 rear tire is the speedo will be 100% accurate. Your welcome!! According to the chart shown on Mac's post, the actual mph in 6th gear at 4000rpm is 82mph. That is based on a 180/55 rear tire. [/QUOTE]
