Final Drive swap possible?

SHOWmad · 05-03-2012, 01:15 PM

1. So I'm looking for info but has anybody ever swapped final drive housing to get a better tranny-final drive-tire size ratio customized for bike geometry/powerband? i.e. do MS or 1600/1700's have a different ratio then an '02 1500? are they easily interchangable? Carbon fiber driveshaft?

2. Has anyone ever installed forward controls on a 1500 w/F.I.? the kits I found are for carbed models only (and very bulky)...buddy has an Indian Chief w/floorboards and forward controls. It is MUCH more comfortable and custom looking than the nomad :(
