On the 1500, 5th gear really does the job. Don't know of anyone doing anything different there. Look on the web site under accessories and windshields for info. Rifle and National Cycle offer shields which will fit the Drifter.

    On a 1500, both 4th and 5th are overdrive gears,  4th being .965 and 5th being .781. On an 800, only 5th is overdrive.  The final drive is 2.619:1  The primary reduction is 1.517, giving a total top gear reduction of 3.103:1 If you could find a rear drive gear with a different numeric ratio that would fit.......

I have a 1999 1500 and I want to have an over drive gear (better gas mileage) on my bike. It has the shaft driven power train and I have looked around but can't find any solutions. I also would like some information on wind shields and mounting for my bike. Thank You
