This new GP460 engine is just too much for a GEBE. I want to ride thousands of miles without having to constantly fight with it. I am planning on getting a 9 gauge "as strong as possible" wheel built from wheelmaster, as well as using a disc brake hub mounted sprocket (courtesy of andyinchville1) …
I will be mounting a staton 3.11:1 compact drive to the same place my GEBE clutch housing currently mounts. Hopefully, I’ll be using a 72 tooth driven sprocket with a variety of 9-14 tooth drive sprockets so I can find the ratios I want for best cruising mpg and happiest mountain riding.
I may yet be getting that Dominator pipe as well. We shall see, it depends on how my own design for an exhaust goes… more on that later.
... I have attached a picture that should explain what I want to do. Basically I want to have a two speed system where I mount two sprockets on the output shaft, similar to the way kerf did his two speed. As far as making a shifter and all that, I will hold off for now. I will have to stop the bike, get out my wrench, loosen the tensioner, and move the chain to the sprocket I want.
Basically, I have created this thread because I have for sure decided to do this now and I wanted to get some opinions from people as to what kinds of problems they see with my diagram or with the setup in general. If I only had the knowledge last year that I have now, I would already be riding this beast! This community is awesome.
