Love my Sporty, but been kicking around picking up a Street Glide also. Mines only a 4spd, those extra gears make a huge difference. Sucks winding it out, trying to keep up at cruising speeds.
Wow - your '91 is still a four speed? I thought Sporties went to five speeds in the '80's. Shows you what I know. My '76 Ironhead is a four speed. I often wish it had five - I really have to wind it up tight if I want to stay in the powerband when I shift. The jump from third to fourth is huge. That, and the way I have it geared, it's spinning about 3,700 rpm at 60 mph. Pretty busy for a Harley.
