Vader's going under the tin snips......again
 
After two years of doing nothing but routine maintenance, adding gas, and riding, it's time to get back to it. The primary's leaking a bit, I think from the shift shaft seal, soooooooooooo while I'm in there......

- 3.37 gears are going in. Anyone know where I can get the sprocket and clutch shell cheap?

- Gonna replace the stock shift shaft seal with one of these.

-Does it make sense to replace anything else while I'm there (bike has 32,000 miles on it)? Inner primary bearing? Stator?

-While the primary's off the bike, I'll put a round oil tank on (powdercoated wrinkle black, of course), and braided black lines.

- Completely unrelated, I'm also gonna replace the front caliper with a Brembo from a Touring bike (really wish I'd saved one from the BSL, but oh well).

I've been good. I haven't bought a single farkle for Vader in two years. She deserves it.

Hey man, I'm all for it. I love watching people upgrade their bikes.

I was looking at the pic of your garage the other day. Vader was on your lift and I forgot how kickass Vader is.

That's a long time to be farckle free.... You'll have to release some pent up modding urges!!
Doing gearing on the Mule myself, looking forward to the results..

You gonna like it Russ.
I went with a 30 tooth engine output sprocket.
Took my 2.96:1 factory gearing to the 3.35:1 that MOCO should have sent it with.
The gear is over 2 lbs. lighter than stock and the starter is also much happier.
Although I do use a TTS tuner, no speedo recalibration is needed.

Yeah, it's nowhere near powerful enough to need a chain.

Can you fit a second disk and caliper on there?

Not with the front end I have. Storz makes a really nice inverted setup that allows a right-side rotor. I can't afford the $3000 entry fee though. The single Brembo will help though. I really have become conscious of how early I have to start chopping off speed when the road starts twisting.

05's were bad for shifter seal leaking. Check with Smart Dave, but I think Cometic make's a better seal for that shaft.

BigSwede 11-25-2012 09:09 PM

Too bad you can't use the right side caliper I'm not using...... The swap is easy, you'll need a touring rotor and caliper, and master cylinder.

Bone Stockman 11-25-2012 09:52 PM

OK, can someone educate me on 3.37 gearing? I'm looking at Harley part # 40269-85A for $177, and then J&P part # 600-382 for $98 for the 24-tooth compensator sprocket. Same thing?

I just can't believe this is $500 worth of stuff for the change.
