Could be. Makes sense. All I have to look at is the stock items. It is
reasonable that an aftermarket kit would have the right gear to mate up
with all the other stuff. The oil pump appears to be the same..just a
different location.

I thought if the bike originally had a chain, it had the later oil pump
and dimensions to take the aftermarket gearset. It's the steel gear
setup that has a different oil pump and location, no?


 Thanks for the heads up!

what...50k miles? As I read through guzziology the other night, it
is noted that the oil pump has to be relocated on the chain bike to
accommodate the gears. Much fiddling, placing and drilling.

Hi there fellow lopperz,

Well the 74 LAPD is all apart and I've looked at the timing chain
(and
gears) for the 1st time ... uh huh... so much slack the chain was
wearing on the side of the case. So...

I'm considering gears since I need sprockets and chain. What's your

 
 opinion? Price vs. longevity.

Just did the sprockets and chain on the LeMans and it was pretty
straight forward.

There have been gears (and chains) on my fav. flea e-market (Ebay)
but none today.

What's yer thoughts on this...?

Thanks

HDot
