Good deal on the MPH! Your engine must be revving like crazy with the stock gears. Now all you need to do is to find some aftermarket gears. :)

As far as weights, I usually baseline at 7's all around and go up or down from there.

I can't believe that there are no aftermarket gears for an '87 anymore. Let me check the shop that I buy my parts from. He might have some around somewhere. I should have done some stocking up... :lol:

If not check out this thread: http://hondaspree.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5275

Looks like the guy has done a successful swap.

The dio gears work fine you just have to replace the 3 shafts with dio ones. Drop in no machining.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Straight swap? Wow, good deal! :)

BTW evil, here's an old trick for an '87 engine that will give you a quicker revving bike.

All of the '87 engines that I've seen have a thick heavy drive face. swap it with one out of an '86 Aero, since it had a kickstarter that year.

Drop in some lower gears and you're good to go!

So you go from 6x3 grams to 3x7x9 gr. you change weights 1 gr. at a time after your center & clutch springs are set.
