Jack, I know you're out there! Lol
I have a stock machine, that I switched to a 14/26 gear, with a 40# chain from TCS. That worked wonders for the top speed, got it to 26 mph (100 lb rider)
The bottom end was sad though, so I then decided to pull two rollers out of the front clutch, and man, that thing had never been serviced. Geez. There was grease in there, hard as a rock! One roller was stuck to the high side. Long story short, I cleaned the clutch, put only 4 rollers back in but now my top speed is only 22 mph with a 100 lb rider. I didn't take the rear clutch apart and lighten the shoes, because I was a bit indimidated. My question is, what should I do now? Should I try to shave weight off the rear shoes, or put back in the 2 rollers and run them in a clean clutch? I want to retain some of this bottom end, but I want that top speed back a bit.
He's only gonna be on this thing for another year, so I hate to spend too much on it. :/
