Constant Mesh Transmission....
This is not a new idea by any means. I've seen this type of trailering solution since the 80s and it may be older than that! The problem has been the CMT and the fact that your tranny is spinning without the oil being pumped by the engine to keep it cool and lubricated. I am not an expert by any means but this is what has been explained to me in the past. You're best bet in this situation is to break your chain and bring a $4 master link and tools with you wherever you are going if you must transport this way. FWIW I saw an ad for a 4X6 beaver tail trailer for $359 a few weeks ago...

Must be for the Harley guys to rack up miles from the comfort of their trucks.

2. You have your wheels on back to front. 3. You're on glue. The front tire rotates at the same rate of turns per MPH, regardless of what sprocket you're running, unless your running such a big rear sprocket, that your front tire never touches the pavement. JC

I understand. But, what I'm telling you is.. Most newer bikes do not have a pick up running to the front tire. Pretty sure it's off of the tach or gearbox. |

Still plenty of bikes out there running analog gauges, but, you're right, electronic gauges run off of a gearbox box pickup, and are calibrated for the stock sprocket. JC
