I agree with Marty it's not a big deal. I'm not a good enough road rider to notice a difference between them. Kinda like swingarm bushings if factory ones are tight they are just as good as aftermarket.

Doesn't matter about the shaft, you still have to split the cases to put the gear in.

I was sure I was right about the shaft so I dug out a empty case and shaft. Sure enough shaft slides right in. But you still have to split the cases. There is no way to get the gear in.:whistle:

I have them ready to go. I think I sent PMs to everyone that expressed interest in them. If I missed you I'm sorry. Or if you just want one let me know.

ATF (Dextron) has more detergent in it than Type F. Also has more slippery stuff in it. Type F has no friction modifiers in it so the clutch plates grab better. I was always told back in the day (70s to 90s) to never mix them. Now in racing applications guys did run Type F in GM transmissions...

I believe you only have to remove the engine is if the shaft that the last 2 gears ride on is not there. People don't normally remove it because you have to heat the case and then press it out. I think @Signal mentioned that. I'm sure that shaft #10 can be installed with the engine in the bike.

All the same.

Are the different types of brake fluid the same? They all do the same thing.

I have put a 447 engine in a 72 XS2, I have not put a 447 in a 71-72. Other people have.

A 447 engine will go into 72 or 73 frame, no problem. Make sure you use the 72-73 front motor mounts. I believe all you have to do on a 71-72 is modify the 71-72 front mounts. Not the frame just the 2 pieces that connect the frame to the motor. On all 4 years you have to use the early head...

Good news I'll have 12-15 ready to ship tomorrow. Bad news and good news. Bad news first the price of the guards have gone up 50 cents to $14.00. Good news is shipping has gone down $1.05 to $9.05. I'm making a mess of them and also making a mess.

I see the kicker is on the left side. Is the shifter on the left also?:)

I will send PMs to everyone that has said they want some.

I have more stock coming. Going to start making more tomorrow.

This is from a XS2. 72 and 73 are the same, larger bore. 74,75 are the same, smaller bore.
