first of all: new here - traveling with a Suzuki VX 800 (among others). Looking for a long 5 gear for this -
Alan - a Canadian did this once and used a GS engine here.

The biggest part of getting the 5th gear made was knowing that the internal of the gear was the same as Suzuki GS models.
After that... there needed to be a very tiny bit of the shift fork ground out of the way.

you can help here.
btw: More information about Alan's gearbox modification here: 
srry - german text  - but no need to be looged in
 
so the question is : how to proceed - how to find the long gear for the suzuki VX 800 
I'm happy to hear from you.

see some more details
 
the VX 800 data: 
Gearbox Standard: (1 -> 5: 2.285/1.631/1.227/1.000/0.851.
Gearbox Custom: (1 -> 5: 2.285/1.631/1.227/1.000/0.75 - > this is wanted - i want to have the taller 5. gear

This is my adventure…..I finally got a final drive from a VS1400 Intruder installed. The hub ratio is 2.66 vs the 3.09 of the VX. Approx 14% taller gearing throughout all gears.
Top speed is not effected, as it is now too tall to rev beyond 7200 rpm (or 110ish mph). This is with a new Avon Storm 150/80 on the rear.
The rpms are lower in all gears. At 60mph I turn 4200ish rpm and 70 comes at just about 5000 rpm. I have only had it on for 2 tanks of gas so I have not memorized exact speeds. These are approximate [...]
