moe1965 749 #1 Posted August 16, 2016 Found this on roadside by a garage at a abandon house. Found the owner and brought it home today. He rebuilt the engine a year ago and lost interest. This will be my winter project. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 749 #4 Posted August 17, 2016 Lol not fresh paint I brought it home in the rain. The only thing that confuses me is that it says it is a 8 speed. My raider 10 is a 6 speed with the same gear pattern. I'm guessing they counted the two reverse gears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,299 #5 Posted August 17, 2016 For all practical purposes the 6 and 8 speeds are the same. Yes, they counted the reverse gears on the ones they called the 8 speeds. There are some differences as far as which shaft the brake drum is mounted on. Compare the two and you'll see what I mean. There are several opinions as to why they changed to calling them 8 speeds but I don't think there's a definite answer. It's the same for the 3 speed and 4 speed. It's the brake drum location again. That could be evidence why they call them 6 speeds, 8 speeds, 3 speeds and 4 speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
