Evolution Industries 30 Tooth Sprocket upgrade
OldMike: You said to give you an up date once I installed the 30 Tooth Solid Sprocket from Evolution Industries.
Took it yesterday to a local indie I use and picked it up today about 3:30pm. It was scary at first.
It is a different bike when you first take off. He corrected the speedometer for the gears with my Power Vision. I asked him when he tested it did he notice much difference.
He looked at me and with a serious tone said be very careful with the throttle taking off until you drive it a few hours.
It jumps from the beginning and I picked it up while it was drizzling and Friday afternoon traffic. Due to traffic and weather I did not experiment any. I did go South towards St. Augustine
and back home and put about 80 miles on it but got tired of the Friday traffic.
It is installed and is running great. I'll give a better update after a few days with it but at this point don't see a negative at all.

I checked with 5 well respected builders and they all said they had been using them for years with no problem. When taking off It use to have power until I twisted the throttle
part way and then it would jump and growl.
I have had it a couple months but was waiting to get my bike painted. Also had to wait a few months for Evolution Industries to make it. The one they sent me did not fit and
then they realized they did not have one for a Fatboy or Breakout with the 240 engine. They agreed to design one and send me the first one.
Now if I'm not careful it will jump without much throttle but maybe not growl until a certain rpm range.
The only problem I've got is it rained just enough again today that I spent and hour cleaning it in the garage and did not ride.
Hopefully tomorrow will be without rain.

Not enough to give you good info. It has been raining here every day. It is raining now.
I did take it out for about 20 minutes 2 times in the morning before the rain started.
No vibration. Easy to find neutral. I'm Happy.
If it has not rained when I get up I'll take it out in the morning. Right now it shows 40% at 8am and goes to 90% around noon. Maybe I'll get a lucky hour before it starts at my house.
I'll post in the morning.

SoCaRider,
That may be so but if you are not a mechanical engineer working with gears and engines or have never run a solid sprocket then I put my faith in
what is logical in a drive train and in the faith of the engine builders that I talked to for a year before ordering it. None of the ones I spoke to had any
negative reason why it would destroy any part of the drive train by making the switch.
The intention of this post was to give OldMike an update which I had told him I would do when I got it installed and give other updates as the months go by.
This was not intended to be a discussion on whether a solid sprocket will work or not work.
Right now I have one and it works. Not asking your opinion on whether something I bought was a good or bad investment.

I've been following a guy on the roadglide forums, and he's put 36000 miles on his with a twinpower comp delete and has had no problems.

Add this onto Who ttyndall has talked to, and it paints a reasonable picture.
So I think its safe to assume that you can get years, and plenty of miles out of a comp-less bike just fine.
