Just an ide and a damn sight cheaper than a new 5 speed box from New Zealand of the UK.

Can you please explain this further? Can you transform gearbox from rotary into a Commando??

I believe the rotary racers ran 6- speed FZR1000 internals, but they didn't use AMC gearbox cases either - a very different animal.
I heard they still had issues with bent mainshafts, but I never found out whether it was due to crashing or 'normal' wear & tear
