Sounds attractive, but the ring and pinion would have to be flippped 
over otherwise you will have 1 speed forward and 5 speeds in 
reverse. This requires special jigs to set the R/P alignment and 
bearing preload. You also have to deal with the shift mechanism, 
which is quite different, to put it mildly.
