Re: 69 c50

Alright guys I've been gone but doing lots of research. I've decided I'm going to get a different rear end and swap the gears. I've found a few with 4:88 high gears. At 3200 rpm that will give me a top speed of 78 mph. 95% of my cruising speed will be at 65 mph and 2675 rpm. That should keep me in the torque just enough, if not no big deal that's why there is lower gears. I still have to find what the matched low gears will be with the high 4:88s. There wasn't any info on the rear ends I found all they stated was the high gear.

The Dr put me off for another 4 weeks but once I'm back that will be the first big thing I buy for it followed by tires and the rest will be nickle and dime things.
