ive got some upgrades in the works.. NHRS front motor mount, stenzel truss strap, trimed cam cover, carb conversion and a few others...
the point is that im converting to an 883 sportster primary gear, chain and rotor... this should give me better acceleration and give me a chance to upgrade to an 8 bolt sprocket vs the 99 4 bolt granade.. i know that buell did the 8 bolt change in 2000 and im hoping a 2000 xl will will swap out.. any comments?

I am interested in the 883 primary gear conversion discussed above.

Is it a direct bolt-on? How much does it change the overall ratio? I like the idea.

Isnt this the same as the XB9 primary?

And yes, it should be a "bolt on" as in, the parts are basically a direct swap...

I also would love to know more about running the 883 primary gear. I rarely ride over 85/90 mph but would love more acceleration at lower speeds.
