I think this is the bike that Gump is referring to: www.650motorcycles.com/EricJackson.htmlIt caught my eye as well. The shaft looks "hungry" to me...like it might eat my leg! I'm just guessing that this configuration would not be OSHA approved!! LOL I really like this bike, but I wish he had polished the engine instead of painting. I think this bike would have looked awesome with more sparkle. |

Another plus to the jackshaft is that it helps reduce the dreaded chain slap you get when you lengthen the wheelbase. The final drive chain is'nt so long.  |
