The 4.57 R&P that is sometimes available here is only a change of about 6% and they are at least 600 for the part, when you can find them. The taller gears are about 240 each, and the .77 gives you a 10% change in ratios, and the .70 is 20% taller. Much better bang for the buck. John 87 Westy SVX (.70 4th) 91 GL 2.5 |
