Been doing a bit of riding down under and have a hankering to get the revs down when at cruising speed (~90kph (56mph)).
I heard on this forum about the possibility to swap the final drive, but cant find the post again.....Google has not shown up anything helpfull.
The specs say my 82 Aspy has a final ratio of 3.1, the 84 and on has 2.833.
I dont know how to run the numbers to tell me how much it would drop the revs to even know if its worthwhile chasing.
I know it will impact on the take off, but thats fine, I ride like an old guy anyway. I would rather the peace and quite and improved fuel economy. (Planing a big trip, besides if its a straight swap, I could always swap it back after the trip?)
Can anyone shed some light on this idea?
Is it a straight swap? Do I have to change the wheel as well? Do the 3 bolts that hold it on the shaft arm match straight up?
All those questions and more.....
Thanks a bunch guys.
