Baker F6F 5th gear

Has anyone added a Baker F6F helical 5th gear to their 6-speed, and how much of a difference did it make in the smoothness of the transmission?

I doubt there would be enough difference in the smoothness to warrant the cost. As for the all noises except for the whine, it seems like a good tune and the new SE comp fixed most complaints, and with baggers, the ids system cured it.

I installed the IDS and still have a loud whiny 5th gear. However the clacking sounds while cruising in 6th are gone. I'm also using Amsoil 75-140 and have a good tune with the PC3 USB. The only change in the noise is that it takes longer during the warm up cycle for it to get loud. Perhaps 20 minutes of riding as opposed to right off the get-go.
