Replace final drive for touring?

These quotes and attitudes are exactly why Eric wont share. Sad though, since no one else gets to benefit from his knowledge.

No, ERIC is why Eric won't share the info. If he cared about helping SHARE the knowledge he would have forwarded the INFO for someone to post. A lot of us dealt with his crap for a long time & he got kicked off this board THREE times that I know of for "being Eric". He is no loss to me or many others that I know here. If he wanted to be useful he would have people posting things that he thinks only he knows that could actually help people. To me, he is gone for a reason & it is good riddance. Ray.

And this helps the OP how Ray? Do you have a solution Ray? Nope, I didn't think so or you would be giving the info instead of complaining about who could.

So how is being Ray working out?

I do hope Eric is willing to help through an email or at least ask me to send them a PM.

This stupid question comes up all the time.

It ain't a Harley.

Spin it.

Enjoy.

His rancor far exceeds any conceivable benefit of his participation.

gsrick, you never had to put up with his drunken attacks & incessant babbling. You might feel the same as myself & many others here if you had. Eric is also a thief. PM Renobruce if you need more info & varification! Ray.

[rapidray]

Also, the Intruder is the bike to get the rear drive gear conversion from. One of the guys I worked with at Suzuki in Hawaii did his 850 that way.

[cowboyup3371]

Not to mention how spiteful he got if you didn't immediately take his advice, bow to his knowledge, or answer him in his timeline not yours.

First to the OP. I'm sorry this has happened to your thread. My sincere apologies. Also, to all the other members that wish this kind of crap would go away.

gsrick, you never had to put up with his drunken attacks & incessant babbling. You might feel the same as myself & many others here if you had. Eric is also a thief. PM Renobruce if you need more info & varification! Ray.

There have been accusations of theft, but there has never been any proof. And what was that about anyway? A chopped up frame that someone made into an engine stand. Really, this is what gets someone thrown off from here? That is a load of BS. I've even offered to either party, A FREE FRAME TO HELP SETTLE THIS, BUT NOOOOOOOOOO. Why? Because it was an attack, a means to a vindictive end, not about some stupid piece of hacked up metal.

I trust the person that has helped me more than anyone here. The person that has sent me parts without me asking and wanting nothing in return. That would be Eric.

There was and incident here this year about a front brake rotor, where someone paid for that part and never received it. Then was repeatedly ignored when asked for the part or money back. That is true theft. That person is still here. Why, because the other person has class.

Also, the Intruder is the bike to get the rear drive gear conversion from. One of the guys I worked with at Suzuki in Hawaii did his 850 that way.

Hmmmm, nice try Ray and it might just work with a lot of modification, but that's not the answer. Or is it? I guess you would have to buy one, modify it or not, and see, but then if your wrong, you'll have to buy something else and try. See my point or I should say Eric's point.

Maybe Boulevards, Marauders, or some other brands, a Yamaha V-Star, possibly. Might not even be a motorcycle part, but you didn't hear that from me.

The point is, why should someone(Eric) give out info that took time, research, labor, out of pocket expense trying different combinations and components, to people that just bad mouth him every chance they get. Yeah that just sucks, because there are some really good people here that could benefit from such info.

Does that mean I'm saying your bad Ray? No, I don't really know you well enough, like I've gotten to know Eric over the last couple years. I can only judge you by what you post and everytime Eric's name is mentioned, it's not nice, that much I can tell.

This is from an email that Eric sent me today. I'm not going to edit it, so what is said, is what is said. I'm finished with this thread and if Eric wants to help someone I'll send them a PM. There is a Youtube video link that allows anyone to see how this modification can benefit those of us, me included, that can benefit from having a way to change the gearing on our shaft bikes. I use the highway every week day and I WILL appreciate the added fuel mileage when I change my bike.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Just remind the class, in retaliation to RABIDray's post, that over the past several years on GSR, no one except for Basscliff,
has posted more "How to video's" or taken more pictures of parts to help members and shown more complete bike rebuilds.
I have since deleted as many pictures as I could in those threads AFTER seeing the replies to my being banned on that site.
No need to help my haters... they can figure this stuff out at THEIR expense!
Has Ray posted ONE rebuild EVER???


Also, please tell them to view in HD and turn the volume off.

That video should answer most doubts.
If they want specs: the front tire is a Bridgestone S-11 100/90-19 with stock speedo drive and the rear tire is a Pirelli Sport Demon 130/90-17.
I can take pic's to PROOVE any of this, of course.

You go BOYEEEEEEEEEEE! That will show em.

[cowboyup3371]

I'd really like to know what he's done to make it so you feel the need to be his own attack dog to defend him. His actions caused his banning and honestly, the forum has been much nicer to be around since he left.

The price is much too high. No amount of info is worth it.

Quote of the week.

[Nessism]

Posting a video of a speedo and tach doesn't mean squat when you understand how inaccurate some GS gauges can be. Until Eric provides the necessary information to provide proof that the 2.66 mod is possible, I don't believe it.

As far as him not sharing the info because some here are bad mouthing him, I say boo hoo. If he truly wanted to help people he would provide the info and win over people with his selflessness. Yea right.

[koolaid_kid]

I have been keeping quiet, because I don't believe in bashing folk, especially those who are no longer here. However, Eric is the first person in any forum I have ever belonged to that forced me to learn how to ignore someone's posts. He followed me around like a freaking Chihuahua nipping at my heels because I dared to (a) disagree with him in a thread and (b) post my GPz in the riding game. I have never mentioned this before, but there it is.
Do I care if he ever came back? No.
Do I miss him? Not in the least. I prefer to leave dealing with disagreeable people to the performance of my job, where they pay me to deal with jerks.

[JEEPRUSTY]

Where did he get the gears? There is no GS that uses that ratio.

A 1200 or 700 Madura?
