If its a DRAG bike the only tranny you should consider is a full override. Run a lock-up. You dont have to run a billet basket, but when the times comes that yours is wore out its a good upgrade. Whos building the motor?
Id drop that guy and his goofy ideas like a bad habit. Shit isn't cutting edge by any means! 3 years to get a motor is fucking retarded! The fuck he waiting for?
The linear direction spots are not deto. Deto will speckle. Not to say that deto wasn't the root cause of some other failure but those marks are foreign material. I as well would agree with some issue in the crank area.
Smeven is correct. These things bring big money on ebay for some reason. I got 330 for the last one I sold.
And please just make one post with all your junk in it.
