G'day from japan.
First of all congrats to Wales and England on giving the wobblies a right deserved towelling ! Wallabies looking good for the next WC - the only way is up from here
Secondly , just thought I'd share a few observations about the final drive - bevel box?- i just swapped out on my 1150GS 2002. Was lucky enough to find a 33/11 drive from a 97 R1100R used for 45 quid - no sterling key on japanese kb.
Done 16K kilometres only. At last I have a happy GS.
I always thought the gearing too tall stock - clutch was ok when I got used to it stock but always seemed pretty
problematic offroad in first. This replacement drive has made the bike what I wanted - first and second a good bit lower and the tall 6th is finally usable at legal roadspeeds. All over I'd say this is close to the gearing
the 1150 should have had from the beginning. Swapout is a piece of cake as everything just slotted in - had to use the original 1150 spline but no problem.
Wasn't able to replce the silly rear plastic bit but no loss
All in all I;m a happy camper with 1150r hbars , custom titanium muffler and the new drive. Bike is so much lighter and easy to ride - which is important when you ride like george gregan linebreak !
cheers
