I am curious to know if anyone went that way using Earle motors set up!
There are some lets say drawbacks. In order the rear tyre not hit the rear fender of the bike you have to install the wheelbase extender. That way the wheelbase increases by 3" about 7,5cms which means you need a 48 sprocket. Increasing the rear sprocket from 46 to 48 lowers the gearing even more...On the Desert Sled there many times looking for a 7th gear.
Also apart from rerouting brake lines, replacing rear fender etc the ABS won't work as well.
