It's worth what someone is prepared to pay for it at the point where you decide that you want to sell it, not what someone tells you it's worth ... someone may tell you that it's worth £500 and then you wait for years to sell it at that price. As the 'old' gearset appears to be common and not in any kind of real demand then I think you're going to be (relatively) giving it away.

My cruiser is back tongue out It sounds alot more sedate at low speed and motor way driving is far more pleasurable ,it feels like a big Yank motor burbling along .

When I hit the loud pedal it picks up quickly ,gear changes are fewer and there is no compromise with acceleration ,you seem to stay in each gear longer.

It was a nice feeling cruising back at 2150 rpm at just over 70mph .

The only thing which needs a tweak is the afr`s ,it now cruises a bit richer lower down .

Very happy with the results.

Good news mate, what size is the crown wheel? [did ask before] Apparently there are two sizes for the 308 ratio [or so I've read]

Well done Daz.

I must check mine at 70 and see what revs I am doing, I should be out in it later so we will see, that's if it doesn't snow!

It's bloody freezing here !

I forgot to measure it ,I would speak to John Read . I`m aware the 7.5 inch will fit but need a large shim but are not that strong


Its all together a far more pleasurable experience....cool

Australia .If you do sprinting it may be the wrong ratio .. There is an over drive kit available which gives you over drive in all 5 gears ..
