You are really gonna like that DD6 when you are out on the slab! You will probably need to reset your speedometer as well when all is said and done.

The kit came with the speedo recalibration unit. Heck, I got 3 boxes....gear set, rental tools and gaskets....I think all I need is the 1 3/16 and 1 1/2 sockets for removing the primary drive stuff. Oh and a good set of snap ring pliers...my cheapies from Harbor Freight won't cut it

Yeah we struggled a little with the snap rings too.


I think my speedometer is still a little off, but it's close enough I reckon

My buddy from Florida wants to come out in the summer and do an Iron Butt ride. Bet that DD6 will make the highway miles really nice.
