Now I have made a direct comparision, I am sure a six speed box can be fitted, this will probably involve fitting the six speed clutch WHICH DOES NOT LINE UP with the bonneville parts
If I was not time poor and in a better financial situation I am sure I could get the 6 speed box to fit
I think other problems will be the layshaft different the main shaft 3mm short. alot of work would be involved but I am sure someone with access to the right equipment could squeeze the extra gear in
If you can ever prove it is possible, and that the quality of the gear shifting is not affected, then I hope the aftermarket niche market will eventually swallow it up..its the one and only thing that is missing on my bike, a nice overdrive combined with stock front sprocket with no compromises....id be in heaven!!
Can you believe that Mrs Hedge, who knows absolutely nothing about motorcycles, said to me after the end of a 4 hour beautiful country ride, "This bike seems like it could use another gear!" I $hit you not my brother RAT's!
I have an imaginary 6th gear on my Thrux. As i'm scootin down the highway full throttle and grab my clutch lever and slap the shifter with my foot and then release the clutch lever and think to myself "you're a dumbass."
