Virago gearing

Does anyone know if I can change the final drive unit on this 1991 Yamaha Virago 1100 with some other Yamaha, maybe a venture, to get a little higher gear ratio? This bike is just geared too low for comfortable interstate cruising with stock unit. I would like to be able to drop rpm's by about 500 at 70mph. I've already counted teeth on a v-max, it is geared a bit lower...won't help me. I've checked with a couple of salvage yards, seems like nobody knows much about ring and pinions for Yamaha gearing. I would appreciate some help, thoughts, maybe even an opinion...thanks anybody.
