can a later k1200gt gearbox fit onto a k1100lt bmw would like to lower the revs in top gear when cruising ,love a 6th gear
 
Is there not a different higher ratio bevel box that can be used to give more relaxed cruising in 5th gear
 
The K1 FD will raise the revs by about 500rpm in top gear... not really worth it IMHO.

I considered this option, but then after more mileage on the bike, I accepted the gearing.

Basically, it likes to rev, and is smoother higher up the range.

Are you still looking for that sixth gear :D
 
Yep, gearing is ridiculous. My problem is I have a R100GS and a K1100LT. On the K I'm always looking for an extra gear but as DN says you do get used to it if you don't ride anything else in the meantime.

The K gets mixed in with an old Softail (no tacho to worry about).

This rolls on a seemingly closed throttle while doing 60mph

The two couldn't be more different
