[QUOTE="Silent, post: 697425, member: 4841"] It is similar to the final drive I had on my '84 Venture Royal, in fact I had the same dip stick to check the oil with. I don't think the gearing is the same tho, the Venture use to haul, and it weighed quite a bit more than the XS. I have considered changing it out to one from an XS650 to change the gearing a bit. It handles great for a '79 :rolleyes: I don't push it to far since I'm running old rubber. The miser in me won't let me replace the old tires until they wear more, or show signs of needing to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
