Gearset - 2nd gen into a 1st gen 1200

[Venturous Randy]

I know this has been batted around a little in the past, but I am wanting to convert my 83 engine with an 86 gear set in it to a 2nd gen gearset with wider spaced gears. I also want to go to a V-Max rear-end. I believe this would be the optimum setup for a 1st gen. It would give me a lower 1st gear with the V-Max rear and still have a better highway gear at 65mph.

But, I am not sure the set would be a direct drop in like going from the 83 to 86 was. I may have the opportunity to pick one up and was just wanting to know if anyone knows why it would not work.

Are you watching the 2000 set with 49k on it Randy? I was looking at it and thinking it looks like it would work. But have tooo many projects going right now. If you haven't seen this one I will send you the info.

If anyone is interested, I have a complete transmission out of a 1986 with 32,000 miles on it.

 

This is a matched set, all parts are from same bike.

 

I got them to put in my 1983, but plans have changed now that I have the 1988, 1300 engine.

 

Everything is included:

 

Both transmission gear sets

 

Middle drive gear & universal

 

Shifter drum

 

Shifter forks

 

Shifter linkage

 

Two sets of new middle drive shims. .15 & .3 mm

 

Crankshaft balancer included.

 

Price is $75.00 + $15.00 priority shipping to lower 48.

I do believe so. I am thinking that it would be a dropin.

Dingy, that's a good deal for one of these MKI guys with the 2nd gear problem. It would be about the cheapest fix they could do.

Randy,

I looked into that too, and I think it can be done. If you look at the parts breakdown the gears and almost all the attaching harware seem to be identical with where everything is placed. If I can come across a G2 to part out for my '99 I'll get with you and we'll get the trans in your hands.

I now have a 2nd gen set on the way.

I sent you a PM.

I am interested in the 86 set.

Randya knows my story right randy?

I do know that a V-max gearset will drop in a 83. When I did my 83 2nd gear fix that is what I put in. Ratios were different but still a drop-in.
