Hopefully my carrier has the countershaft sprocket in her LLV for delivery today. Lance at Sprocket Specialists kindly refunded my money for the inconvenience. ( I wasn't expecting that) Pics of install will follow...

My counter shaft sprocket arrived today. I hope to have the chain and sprockets done tomorrow before work barring any complications...

I'm now on the DT100, Tim. Frame straightening, head bearings, new headlight, repair crash damage, etc.. Then on to the H2!

I figure I have a day or two of work on the Phoenix. It needs a real good detail after its all assembled. The RZ will done later this month or the 1st part of next month. I had to spend a bunch of money on fence stuff for the farm. I want to get my money's worth out of the rear tire as well before pulling it apart for rear tire, chain and sprockets...

Keep an eye or two on that Tire. US129 eats them up fast :shifty:

I have to put a rear on the RZ... The Phoenix usually doesn't see as much use... I think the tires will be OK on it for this year.

Due to circumstances beyond my control (the trailer I borrow was sold) I'll be using my own which only holds 2 bikes so I may be without a 2 stroke this year. However, I'm thinking about selling my Lawn-Boy so I'll post if anyone wants me to bring it. Evans? Another one?

It's OK Chris, you're not setting a precedent. :)
