Gearbox options

Post by ryan305 » Fri Feb 12, 2016 3:41 pm

Hello,
I am in the process of rebuilding my Cb77 and am looking into gearing options. I know of a few available:

CYB 4 spd
CYB 5 spd
Nova 5spd (Race or Road)
MPE First Gear

I was curious if anyone had any of these setups available for sale. If so can you PM me a quote and some information.

Thank you,

Ryan

Honda CYB gearboxes are like hen's teeth. I am slowly building up a set of parts for one to use in a CYB72

Here is the Nova

I have the NOVA 5-speed and love it (if you go through my 'Japan Meets Britain' thread, you'll see it in there somewhere). Please do note that if you choose this option, you lose the kickstart mechanism. Plus, it's not cheap (think at the time I bought it, it worked out to about $2700 US).

Vince

The $ to GPB exchange rate is in your favor currently. 1700 GBP works out at $2,380.

Add a bit more for shipping and (possibly) duty.

Whoa, WAY too rich for My blood! I don't ever want to ride a Super Hawk with that trans, cause if I did, I would probably sell everything I could and try to find and get one. Bet it IS an Awesome Addition for the ol' Super Hawk or Any Version there of.

Yup definitely a chunk of change (plus if you need to pay someone to install and tweak it), but it was something I wanted to do. Plus this is the only bike I have, so I figure I'd pool my resources into one bike. It utterly transformed the bike, and combined with all the other things I've done, it's a very satisfying ride.

Just curious Ryan, I looked on MPE's site and only saw gearboxes for Kawasaki and for Honda 250 K4. What do they make for a SuperHawk?
