Hi Adam,

You have to barrel the axle splines that fit into the side gears. If we had enough reduction in lap times, we would have just added a bit of work for the team to replace the axle shafts and all the diff parts after each race. Livernois would have had to barre; about 60 axle shafts and we just order ring and pinion sets, new side gears...associated bearings, but not enough gain to go to the time and expense...

Best,

Interesting for sure. Thanks!

Nice Yamaha jacket!:like: Reminds me of my old Yamaha 80 from back in the late 70's with the metal gas tank.

I sold my 2003 Super Cab Ranger to my daughter (really cheap) before my 2019 came in so didn't get a picture of them together. Will get a picture when I visit her at Thanksgiving.

Good eye to see that. At the time I still had my 1975 RD-250 and an 1985 FZ-750. The jacket being almost 15 yrs old by this time was on its last legs.
