The 850 FD is the same as a 750 right. Have an opportunity for an 850 FD but want to be certain before I pick it up.

Yes, as far as I know. Both have been used.
I've been told it's a little easier to swap w/, due to a spacer difference, but others have said that's incorrect.

Thanks Bob. Anyone else?Comment

Both are geared the same and will work. Not sure about the washer thing, but even if it's true, it's nothing major. Snatch that thing up. I think you'll love it as much as the rest of us do. Good luck..

750 fd
I have a 750 FD somewhere in my shop. Think I might try it out on "Ghost Rider" project. Everything I have hear sounds like a great modification and since it won't be an original build, may as well try it out.78 XS1100E Standard

I really want to bring the cruising RPM's down a bit. It seams like it's screamin' at about 70. Should help my milage also. I'm only getting about 27 -29 now mostly around town.

Nah, was just giving you hell.Originally posted by XSokieSPECIAL View Post
BTW 27-29 in town really is about right. My FD swap didn't help the mileage out any, but does make the scoot more pleasurable to cruise on.Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.Comment

Greg,
It will be like adding another top gear. Should lower your top gear cruising rpm's around 900 or so. Some say they have experienced MPG increases, others say they haven't. If all you do is mostly around town, probably won't help mpg. All highway, long rides, probably would. Best thing about the mod is you don't feel like you need to shift one more time, even though you're already in 5th...'82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)

While you guys are looking at all those 750 and 850 final drives see if you can get the exhaust too, I know a guy that's been hunting for an 850 exhaust forever and he said a 750 would do if he got the mounts too as long as it's clean and solid. He's got green $$$ for ya.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)

Yea, I keep catching myself checking for another gear when I step out onto the highway.Originally posted by XJOK2PLAY View Post
I'm curious though, why put a taller gear in a bike with a smaller engine and less power? (i.e. the 850) Doesn't seem to make sense.Comment
