I am trying to find out if anyone has modified their shaft drive bike to allow a higher top speed, or lower rpm at cruise speed, could change sprockets if a chain drive, what do I do for my shaft drive? 1981 Virago 750

Tough one to do.Years ago we used to swap the drive gear on the Yamaha V Max w/ the Venture.Keep your Virago stock- the mods your look'n for costs too much$$$

If you find out, please let me know. I have a 1982 Virago 920. I really like it but it sits too high. It is as if Yahama was building a really big enduro and some *** said" Wait a minute! why don't we put lights signals and chrome fenders on it and sell it as a road bike! The transmission needs another gear, or the rear end needs a taller ( higher) gear. The suspension is way too soft too, but I really like it. anybody got any Ideas?

 HI; The boys at Volusiarider.com are using a C90 to Adapt to a C50. The modification works very well. I don't see why one couldn't fab up a rear diff. from a larger cc bike. The Suzuki guys have found out a way  . The price is only about 500 ***  Lowers engine rpm and increases the top speed. I know that it works the unit has sold hundreds of Suzuki C50 riders. It is called the DJ drive. If you get a hold of him he may try to help.If you go to the site do a search for DJ drive or C90 drive. Good luck...scruffy..
