Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the trailer. The trailer is to reduce wear and tear on tires, chain, sprocket, bearings, shock etc, so you can ride at the track.

There is no other reason a bike should be on a trailer, ever.
What about poser harley guys trailering to daytona or sturgis :lol:

Then why does your speedo read wrong when you change your rear sprocket?

1. It was wrong to begin with.

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. :lol:

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.

I would rather toss my bike into the back of gutted out 1989 Ford Festiva paint painted fluorescent pink with bull horns mad out of stale marshmallows affixed to the front hood while wearing a diaper.

Mainly because it was so much fun the first time around

I guess that depends on what you consider "newer".

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.

Either way, a guy towing a Harley is not likely to rack up any additional miles, since the layshaft doesn't spin in neutral. :lol:

I have "analogue" gauges. As in, they have needles instead of digital numbers. And it's run off of the tach.


I'm really curious now as to which are more common.
