I can't be the only DP rider out there hunting for 6th and 7th gear when riding????? There are so many KLR owners out there and in these forums who must know someone somewhere that could design and engineer a 7 speed gearbox for the KLR. Like stock gear ratios and then 2 more gears for the extra zip and fun.
Remember when cars had 3 gears standard, and now some have 6? Who says it can't be done? Everything takes money. I bet if each of us donated $500 for a credible engineer to pull it off, it could be done. Can't be that hard. Not sure how to get by the casing size, but theoretically it must be possible. Anybody really interested in pursuing this further or know some retired genius who needs a life alltering project and really would need a project like this?
Probably many of you are going to cut me up on this one, but it only takes one person with the desire and knowledge to pull this off. DPers aren't stupid. When we ride, we all seem to hunt for higher and higher gears on the HWY. Most people I know would want it if they could get their hands on it. You know Kawasaki wouldn't go there, but we could.
