        Shovels, rakes and other implements of destruction.

        I haven't got everything organized yet. I just got the bike stuff out of the way so I could move around.

        Haven't found a good corner for that stuff yet. It's been too hot to spend any real time out there.

        Nope, no witching rods. I have running water.

                    on your bike is from an 850? is there a ratio difference compared to the 1100 final drive Greg?

                      Yeah, the 750/850 FD is a little taller gear. Like having a 6th gear and lowers highway RPMs. I prefer the 850 because all 850 FDs are type 2 and much easier to work with.

                        about the RPM's on the express... Molly is only a five speed and as you know 70mph is around 5grand... been staying off the express with her, she wants it though... lol...

                        I will need to look into this Greg... lets see, gear lube with labor plus diff... could prove to be well worth the cost...

                          Just installed one on ambisinister's G last weekend. Took about an hour. Those 850 FDs are only $20 - $30 on ebay.

                                At the rear wheel Rich. The FINAL DRIVE......the differential......the REAR END.

                                The part that takes the place of the rear sprocket on a chain driven bike.
