The clutch cover and clutch looks to be totally different. I'm guessing this would be good for cross country racing... not so much berms and jumps. Lots of speed with that sprocket... not too quick though.

They gotta weigh a ton for a dirt bike.
But I guess we all like to do stuff "just cuz we can" sometimes.80 SG XS1100

What the heck are you talking about there?Lots of speed with that sprocket... not too quick though.
The sprocket is nearly as big as the wheel!
Any bigger and it wouldn't go fast enough to keep it upright.
There is no way you could shift fast enough to keep up with the RPMs.

You need to forgive Tod, He just thinks small engine low acceleration. I don't think he though about the overall GEAR RATIO, and the ACCELERATION that would give the bike from zero to 60 mph.Ray Matteis
