I did use the search facility and there was a similar thread. It got hijacked though.
Anyway it was two years ago and something might have changed.
Then again, we are talking about Harleys...
Friend of mine is the Manager of a motorcycle dealership, so while he may be in a position to know, he also has a vested interest. He tells me that the Jap import Harleys have different gear ratios to the American market bikes. Does anybody know if this is true?
If it's only a matter of changing a sprocket, no problem. It seems strange to me that Harley would make bikes for Japan with different internal ratios. Then again Suzuki used to make special(ly fast) Katana 1100s for NZ...
