revtech 6 speed, installed, fist thoughts
Well I finally got the revtech 6 speed in my 94 heritage. Its something that I wanted for many years now. Like most non rubber mount evo owners, I was tired of the dam vibration as soon as I hit 64 mph, after 2 hours at highway speed my whole body was numb, sucked!
For the last 3 weeks I have been working on putting in the trany I got new off ebay. An hour here, hour there when I could. In the process I fixed other things that were needing fixed for a while now, new brakes, brake rotors, new wheel bearing, rear tire, a sweet new round style oil tank, new drive belt, swing arm bearings, rear tire, battery and battery cables….few bolts.. probably some other things in forgetting. Still have to put in the steering head bearings and have the carb tuned…..
So needless to say I was excited to take the ole girl for a test ride. I have read lots of debate back and forth on the revtech 6 speed. My vote? FREAKIN AWSOME! I grinned ever time I dropped her into 6th gear, man its sweet to hear the rpm drop and the vibration to almost go away. I could almost see clear out of my side mirrors! Lol…
At 60 to drop in into 6th is a bit of a short shift, I lugs the motor a bit, I find that when accelerating on to the highway I hit 6th at 75. thou it cruises fine at 65. ill make another post once I ride a bit. But right now im tickled pink!
