[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 221396, member: 4617"] Thanks. I looked at the fiche for the 1200 and 1500 final drives. Lots of MG9 parts used in the 1500 FD. The one difference I did find is the support bearing, item #26/27 depending on the year you look at, that is pressed into the main FD case, the one connected to the swingarm not the cover, is 4 mm thicker than the one for the 1200 FD. The dimension of the 1500 bearing is 35X62X18 mm, the dimension of the 12300 bearing - 6007 (C3) is 35X62X14 mm. Not only is the wheel bearing design better, but Honda made a small design upgrade in the FD internals. Have contacted a trike conversion dealer here on the island regarding a 1500 rear wheel unit. He has a '97 1500 coming in for a trike conversion. We discussed my requirements, and I did mention what was available on the internet and for what price. He'll let me know in a few weeks, and until then I will keep myself busy with other work. Don't expect there to be a run on these parts any time soon. The tire I will be using is a Michelin Commander III, 150/80-16. Like the Michelin Commander tire line. Had some 30K Kms on a set of Michelin Commander II on this bike. Think the Michelin Commander III line is designed to compete with the Dunlop Elite 4. Sourced the last hydraulic lifter out of the UK, paid for and being sent. Have a full set now that will make for a good work item this fall/winter - if required. Still have to do a shim check. Cheers [/QUOTE]
