I Miss my 900 custom

Looks like it had 5 gears and a 2-speed transfer case. Was the standard method of riding shifting through the 5 gears in "low" range and then switching to the "high" range as an overdrive for highway cruising? Where was the shift lever for the 2-speed transfer case?

I rode one of these for awhile in the 80s and that's how I did it. I'd keep it in the low range for most riding situations. When cruising on the highway, I'd shift through the five gears in "low", then click it into "high" range from 5th gear. While technically a 10 speed, most people just used the high range as a 6th gear on the highway.

I really enjoyed riding that bike. It belonged to a friend who was out of the country and I was keeping it for him. I was sad to have to give it back.
