Joe Caruso--British master machinist and he of HQ steel timing gear fame--asked me to spread the word regarding him making replacement gears for our straight-cut gearboxes; this is of interest to those who want to keep the three-dog straight gears. Is anyone in need?

Interested. Any idea what he'd be asking for a set?

I would be interested, depending on price. Any idea what he wants for a set? That Centauro stuff I got from Joe a few years go was excellent.

Interesting. I recently searched all over for gears for my Sport and none were available. Fortunately I found a guy, locally by my good luck, who specializes in fixing motorcycle transmissions. He welded up the rounded dogs on four of my gears and then re-cut them. Did a beautiful job and charged me $340. 30 years in the motorcycle transmission business.

Interested.

It seems some trannys primarily suffer damage to 5th, while others with higher mileages have most gears pitted etc. I've asked Joe how much; I imagine the proper thing to do is for him to offer all five gears. I'll report back.

Right on my friend! I don't have any issues as of today with any of my bikes gearboxes, but I would love to have a complete gear set or two on the shelve, just in case!
