Default Cowpie trans tip

If not already widely known,
to help with positive shifts and fewer false neutrals:
The cowpie has a pawlcarrier shift mechanism,
very much like the sportster.
The spring between the plates, 'pawls',
replace with the stronger -52 sportster part number(s).
Just my opinion and thoughts,
though proven, I have no idea if it works.
Try at own risk.

My Cowpie has yet to give me problems...

I can Guarantee that a "DirtBike" kinda guy will indeed have problems tho...Watch how they treat the Shifter!!! Stomp or Nudge...your choice.
