stating the obvious but thats a worn motor in need of some TLC. Close ratio boxes were standard issue from Honda 89-91 if i remember rightly. 91 up was wide ratio. Sounds like the only custom work on that bike will be the rebuild your mate will be doing. :bash:

The guy that ripped him off has burned me as well,

I suggest your friend contact service honda and take the matter up with AJ, him and ed are buddies.

At least AJ will make real efforts to make customers happy, Ed bend people over and give it to em dry


Regarding the tranny. the only difference between the motor that is supposed to be in that bike and the 91 is 4'th and 5'th gear ratios. The ones he has are for MX and closer ratio, less top speed but it pulls harder in 5'th
