And Now, The Denouement

Greetings:

Well, they're in. Malossi 67-6458 gear set DOES fit the AF05 E/Pre-1994 Elites and Aero cases. The Mallossi Drive shaft presses into the 6203 case bearing by means of a special installation collar only Honda-san has. You can use a press if you can find a pipe sized to fit the inner bearing race. That pressure applied incorrectly will crack the case and/or trash the bearing.

The Malossi countershaft 32 is a straight press job onto the stock countershaft, replacing the stock bevel-cut 34. Honda dealer did both for $50, AND cleaned up my horribly dirty eBay tranny case to sparkling. Only problem is tranny case numbers no longer match the frame. No Concours shows for Flash. :)

I purchased used parts to make the swaps, so I can bolt-on either the stock 11.097:1 ratio or the Malossi 7.83~:1 "long legs". Variator tuning is mandatory to prevent over or under-revving in the midrange and/or premature variator upshift before the bike gathers sufficient momentum. This is ongoing, waiting on lighter rollers to arrive.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.
