I think unfortunately you lose the kickstart ...

Dang! I looked at the folder I have of this gearbox and have no links to the source. Probably an internet search would produce something. I tell ya, the other photos are also amazing to look at. This thing has its own custom castings and everything. A real beaut! As I recall, this thing cost more than my Triumph when I bought it new.

THAT looks to be true . . . looking at the gearbox outer cover which has a PLUG where the kickstarter aughta be. But that makes no sense; what, a guy is sposed to push-start the bike? Still, the idea of a six speed is cool by me.

Well, two things:
First, does the 5-speed tranny fit in the 4-speed case?
Second, are there different ratios available, so you can have a true overdrive 5th?
