I did a dry test on my Ground up build Custom Softail today and noticed something I totally over looked.
I bought a SPIKE Jackshaft assembly for a Softail Im building with a 1997 Evo in a MID USA frame.
The clutch assembly is a Primo with a 66 tooth ring gear.
The Jackshaft is a 10 tooth not a 9 tooth.
Totally my bad!!!, never even downed on me.
I bought the whole inner primary assembly on Ebay and never realised the damn ring gear was a 66 tooth
Question,
Will any brand of pinion gear fit a Stock replacement SPIKE setup.
I can find replacements but not a SPIKE replacement unless I purchace the whole Jackshaft assembly again.
All I need is the Pinion gear period!!!
I have the 10 tooth. That my problem. Did more investigating and a 9 tooth wont fit a 10 tooth assembly so I had to order a full 9 tooth Jackshaft assembly for the 66 tooth ring gear.
Now I have a 10 tooth spare for my next build.
