[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1145486, member: 76805"] Good stuff and I hope your great work pays off for you. I just don't think the revs on an FJR are excessive at highway speeds. My BMW R1200RT would turn 4000 RPM at 72 miles per hour in 6th gear. The FJR turns 4000 RPM at 75 miles per hour in 5th gear. The RT redline was 8000 RPM; the FJR is 9000. Existing gearing is not an issue in my book. But your ingenuity is to be admired and if it makes you happier with the bike then it was worth doing. [/QUOTE]
