Well did you get it out?  How does the trans look?

Yea, it's out but I'm taking it to a professional for the transmission work. I don't wanna cut my teeth on this one, even though it seems much easier than most.

I'm taking it to a guy in Kenova WV. He's really good mechanic he used to work for a honda cycle shop. 

Came out really easy with the headers on made it easy to grab onto.

Only thing hard about doing the trans  is getting the thing level ,upside down.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I bet, I wasn't scared of it but I'd rather spend a few bucks knowing it's done right. Where the motor is out and he dosent have to pull the cylinders not gonna be that expensive labor wise. I'm taking it to him in the morning.

Think a 14 tooth front sprocket is to low?

Anyone ever remove the baffling in the stock Busa exhaust?

A 14t will be fine and prob much better ratio for you.  Any less and you have to watch and maintain a good bit.

Call Angela at Rossen Racing. $30

I bought a vortex off ebay for $26. They had 14 to 18t. (Thank you Carl)
Im gonna check the rear break pads since the motor is off very easy to get to at the moment. But I dont even know what kind of caliber that is, it may not need them.

Dogs were wore in first gear and a bent shift fork(s). Im not for sure but I think he replaced first and sixth gear? I think those two run together to make up first. He's said it would be ready for pickup this weekend. I done what lance said and just put new oem parts back. Didn't wanna take a chance on used stuff.

I think you went the right direction with new parts.

Yes definitely! Just got my neighbor to help me lift the engine out of the trunk of my car. Be putting it back together this week after work each day.

Yea, that kinda sux. At least I might make the turkey run. Hurt my back the other day at work pretty bad. Definitely slowed things down for me. Got a steroid shot and it feels like its helping.
