Ah okay. Thanks. I guess it gives me more reason to eventually tackle the bigger project of a transmission overhaul.
By the way, I heard back from Craig (friend emailed him awhile ago), and he confirmed the old 1980s streamliners accelerated far too slowly, and that's a big reason those designs didn't have any real affect on motorcycles today.
(Ps. this thread reminded to check my email and I should have done that before I posted.)
