Hi Skip,
I thought I'd expand just a bit on the grearing situation. I just pulled
out Mike Wright's Guzzi Gearing spreadsheet (downloadable from
GuzziTech). It's a lot more fun if you have Microsoft Excel
installed...because you can play with the numbers, see the effect of
tire diameter, theoretical speeds at a given RPM, etc.

I think the 4th in a 4spd and 5th in a 5spd are the same if you have the corresponding rearend. I know if you put a Ambo rear end in a eldo it will lower your RPM's at highway speeds. My dad has a Eldo with a 4spd and a Eldo rearend and that thing was a bullet from red-light to red-light. I am not sure what the final ratio was but it had to be low.

I don't have my books with me but I believe 4th in a 4spd and 5th in a 5 spd are both the same ratio.
