Tony...if you have any motorcycle wrecking yards in your area ask them if they have a final drive for a Suzuki VS1400. Any year will do, they're all the same. You may be able to get one at a good price.

Same here. It made the C50 into a whole new bike! I LOVE it!

No loss in low end torque?

472viper · 02-03-2012, 03:34 PM

Such a small amount, it's barely noticeable.

The way it allows each gear to "wind out" makes the bike so much more enjoyable, the negligible loss of bottom torque is worth it.

This last summer my C90 drive developed a leak, in order to minimize down time I reinstalled my old C50 drive drive. I can't wait to put the 90 drive back in, it makes every gear much more usable and efficient.

I dropped a C90 drive off at Dan's for conversion Jan. 28th. Viper, what year is your's from. Mine is a 2002, 18k miles. Was/is the leak a simple fix?

I'm in the minority, but I never saw the value.

That's because you are ignorant. If you cannot see that the upgrade to this final drive is great...as well as adding a 2004r transmission with a PTC 2800 9" lock-up torque convertor...then you should just keep your opinion to yourself.

I like my DJ Drive.

kidding of course!!!..but not about the DJ drive
