Hey Phil, gonna keep the same gearing? you'll be doing wheelies in 2nd & 3rd gears now!. I just switched to the D&D fat cat, I noticed that you are doing the boarzilla. What will that do for the build? Should I have gone to that since I have the 113" HQ build? Thinking about going to the same gearing tha you have, what do you think? Tim

Hey Tim...

I am keeping the gearing for now, but it is possible that I might "try" a 36t clutch basket at some point. I am doubting there will be any shortage of torque, so it'll probably pull it just fine.

The FatCat will will be borderline on that build, b ut it'll probably be just fine. It's not enough for a 120 though.

Did you say you have 575's or 0033 cams?
