I've got over 10,000 miles on one and no problems. Try Jireh cycles.

Fatboy,
you say no problems, but it does not sound that you are thrilled. What's the story.

For the money I'm more than satisfied. For $700 bucks you can't expect Baker like quality. The only thing I have noticed is that sixth gear is a little noisy but not that bad. The fact that the tranny is a close ratio makes the bike alot more enjoyable to ride. When I installed the tranny I switched over to a chain for the final drive to fit a 150 tire outback. Since first gear in the new box was 2.94 and the stock five speed was 3.31, I lowered the final drive ratio so that first in the new tranny and first in the stock five speed where close to same. This gave me the same accleration in first as the fivespeed and lowered the speed that I could use sixth down to 60 without lugging the motor. Overall I am more than please with the tranny.
