Default Elusive 6th gear!!

I have been searching all over the internet and dealers for looking at a taller 5th gear or even getting a new tranny box for my M50. At 75 mph, (doesn't bother me too much) but the engine is wound pretty high, and who doesn't like to customize their bike a bit.

I have found a few forums on the net from C50 owners who have been taking the C90 drive shaft and putting it on the C50. They call it the DJ drive. It does require some drilling but I have heard phenomenal results such as a 14% reduction in rpms, better gas mileage, etc.

Anyone else been looking at this and have any experience?

Just remember, you're unique like everybody else!
