A while back I had pulled my trans appart to install the Zippers billet trap door I bought to try and eliminate the possibility of breaking a rotor magnet. Well I was in for a surprize when I took the rotor off, one magnet was shattered, and the rest were loose as hell. So I ended up getting the V-Twin clutch shell from ebay for $339, I also figured since the magnets wacked the stator I should replace that too, so I got an Accel stator.

While I was at all this I decided to do away with the close ratio gears Harley started to install in late 1986, the close ratio set brings first gear down to 2.29, and with a 21/48 sprocket combo I was screamin on the highway, so bought the late 1984-86 clutch gear and countershaft gear bringing first gear to 2.52, 17/27 tooth, and installed a 23/48 sprockets, now the bike crusies at 70 MPH at 3500 RPM, before was at 4000 RPM. I could of just installed the 23 tooth sprocket, but that would of killed the low end.

Here are some pics:
