I believe if the bike is a 74 and the Moto has the chain drive, then the
aftermarket gear sets will work. The stock gears will not work though. The
gear drive engines had some differences in the front of the block from what
I have read. I just put a set of agostini gears on my 75 850T , which
basically has the same engine as the 74 Eldo. It even has the tapped
bosses on the top of the block for the generator mount. For me the gears
were a cheaper way to go. The chain, tensioner, and drive gears were worn
out. The teeth on the sprockets were pointed so bad I sliced my finger
open on them. The gear set was cheaper then replacing all the chain drive
parts. The gear set did make a difference. The throttle response is better
and the acceleration is quicker. I just have to get used to the gear whine
until they break in.

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?
