7th Gear Mod?
Browsing eBay, i've run into a Kawa Concours with a 7th Gear Mod:

made by: http://www.shoodabenengineering.com/7thgearunit.php
Is this something to consider for a CBR or even available for a cane?

As the bike is I think shaft drive, this is like a small overdrive unit...........
Good thinking tho.
You'd need to re- engineer the gearbox to fit a genuine 7th gear to a chain drive........??

I think at the end of the day ... if anyone wants to lower top end RPM's , it might be a touch easier and cheaper to just mod the drive line gearing
...rather than buy what would be super expensive add on over drive or rebuild the darn gearbox!!
..??
and nup ..ov never seen a 1000F with a ready to go addon that will do that
at least not as yet ?

Maybe a two sprockets on the rear, high/low with a derailleur system
That'd make her a 12 speed hee hee hee
LOL
Top speed 425 mph
