The 96 cases were the latest revision and very good. I ran a set on a remanufactured Evo for 132,000 miles until the bike was wrecked.

Still waiting on engine delivery from Jireh cycles, simultaneously fending off depression. I called to place the order on the 8th, they haven't taken payment yet (said payment would occur when ready to ship), but they did say it'd take about a month. Called for an update a week ago, was told I'd get a callback after lunch but none came.

Engine comes to $4100 after shipping, about $600 for a scorpion clutch. The trans will come later, probably over winter. Primary chain & final drive belt have about 6k miles (I replaced both on the same day)

Why are you swapping the tranny? 6 speed? I'm running an Ultima 6 speed gearset in my 94 Ultra behind my homebuilt 96" and no issues with it at all. About $600 for it and self installation.

If you plan on rebuilding the Evo motor do yourself a favor and replace the crank with an S&S 4.625 stroker if you want to make any real power out of it... Stock crank pin is the weak spot... The cases on the other hand are very good..

Yes, for an OD. I was considering the same thing you have, or a Baker gearset but that's a huge jump in cost.

Fredonia, isn't that out by Rochester? If so you have Hillside not far from you in Munnsville...
