V-MAX Gearset for RSTD or RSV

[RAm5700]

Anyone done the swap? Do you like it?

 

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a set (or not) based on feedback here.

IMHO you will LOVE IT!!!:cool10:

 

Especially if you ride "heavy" and pull a trailer.....

best thing i have done as i have a sidecar and pull a trailer

[RAm5700]

I don't pull a trailer nor ride heavily loaded........ I just want the acceleration advantage since this is the slowest street bike I have ever owned. Not looking for V-Max acceleration just something more than leisurely get up and go.

 

Already upgraded ignition, carbs, air filters and exhaust. Last mod for performance until she needs a rebuild. Then cams, springs etc.

 

Just a little concerned about raising the RPM's too much at 80 mph (speedo will register almost 90) which is where the bike will spend a fair amount of time since our highways are legal up to 75mph. If you don't run 80mph everyone flies by.

great upgrade, no more lugging, good acceleration. RPMs, if you have the Dyna 3000 ignition 7250 works good , I love mine, will put them in the 99 RSTD this spring

I have two 06 rstd one with the gears it is much smoother and just gets to 5th a little sooner no problem with r's that I have noticed usually ride up to about 140 kph which is about 85 on the understandable scale as mentioned if I wanted more top end would install the commander to up the rev limit and smooth out the timing have not felt the need to do that so far

Since I just got a sidecar and will probably be putting it on the MM, I'll more than likely go that route with the Vmax differential I took outa my Vmax when I installed the Venture differential in that bike.

 

Got a lot to do with the sidecar before I get to that point though.

 

And I'll probably go with a car tire on the bike later too.

Good news, thanks everyone for the feedback. And yes I do have the Dyna upgrade with the rev limit at 7,500 rpm.

Does the engine warning light system work with the Dyna upgrade?

Don't know, I have not read or heard anything to the contrary but have not verified one way or another.

I don't know the answer to the light.... I have the vmax rear gears and the dyna3k and monster ovals. We have snow here but I had the bike out out for 30 min before the snow hit and it felt awesome. Felt like I could get rubber out of a hard 2nd get shift. And the ovals sound awesome as well. It really woke the bike up. DO IT....you'll love it.

I'd like to get a tach....never owned a bike that didn't have a tach

Made up my mind to do the gears.. I want a tach as well and will probably add in the next few months. I would also like to add a power outlet (2).
