You can get a 6 speed from a J-Spec FD also.

Really? What year/model? none of my literature even hints at it..

Re-editing this, Im gonna retract my questions and say

No - it was never available in japan with a 6-spd

Perhaps the Miata is what you are referring to

I see that you were born June 13th, 1988, which would make you 14 years old.....so how's your FD running? Race anybody today ?

Yeah, you might want to just stick with whatever gears and ratios your Huffy came with. If you REALLY want to go faster, remove the kickstand, reflectors, the fmb (front-mount basket), and of course the streamers coming out of the handles (lots of drag)
Good luck with your project....

Well, at least you posted in the right section this time, so thanks.

^This guy is 16 years old. I think they let me have a learner's permit when I was 16. I think I would have killed myself if I had an Rx7 at that age.

There are a couple kits out there. I've only seen the one that basically sticks another 5th gear on the back. Not really what the intention was.

I've seen this discussion about the dog cut gears before. While I think it's interesting, I suck at rev-matching so non-synchro gearboxes are out-of-the-question. Plus, I'd rather waste my money on go-fast modifications.
