Real sweet deal man! I had the same carrier on a lincoln town car a few years ago. I used to carry my '76 yz 175 everywhere. I wish I still had that bike... I don't know if this applies in your case but I used those spring "wedges" (2 on each spring) to get the ride height back up.

I had the same carrier on a lincoln town car

..hooptie?

[zombie]

It was my Ghetto Cruiser... Bright yellow w/ a burgandy top, and center line wheels. I think it belonged to Issac Hayes before me...

...dammit!!

 

..snapped another belt...

..the NEW one...

..these 23100 belts will not hold up to a derestricted variator, 9 gram rollers and a 1000 spring...

..i can feel the belt's "cogs" rumbling on the drive or driven boss when it gets too tight...

..gotta keep it around 45-50 mph....

..i put all the oem parts back in to ease the work off the belt some...

..i have two new 748-18-28 belts to be delivered tomorrow....

..i hate pushing this damned scoot...

I've noticed mines a bit cluncky  on take off with the gates and slips a bit need a mallossi  equivelent.Don't think the belt will last long.Haveing a great time despite leaving with tools to fix anything and no parts! On a barrowed lap top will post more when I get back got some pics and all.

when i put the gates belt on and lost some pull but gained ALOT of top end. i thought it was just from the old belt being worn but i'm guessing its because its longer. i dont see how u all are running 8 and 9 gram rollers. i had 6 gram rollers in mine and it was perfect! i put this huge back tire on and had to lighten up to 5.6. i've been spinning and sliding and cant wear this thing out. i wanted 2 get some use out of it. what upgrades have u done to your cvt?

[wordslinger]

...dre, i was also using an aluminum drive face and a 1000 torque drive spring and an NCY clutch...

..the drive face is MUCH lighter than oem, so that probably explains the 9 grams for me...

[dreflu]

could u tell a difference when u put all that on? i dont know what i want to do to it next. im stock everything but cdi, pipe and belt and before i changed back tires i could stay past the 50mph mark like between the k and m! and get there pretty quick.

u change your reeds yet word?

I'm running the mollassi veriater,b bore kit and the dr slider clutch with the 8 1/2 g rollers 1000 rpn spring and stock dr pully flies,I need to play with these a bit more but didn,t bring them  all made slight differences.Threw all this together just before the trip and wish  i brought 9 and 10 g rollers a hand full of jets and my fatter needle jet,makeing all my power at 55mph and running to 60 for any length of time it will shut down.It's working so hard i think i'm running the fuel out of the float bowl I had my scoot tuned for cooler wet weather not 95 plus.Seems to me you should try a heavier wheight I'd try a 7.0 or a 7.5.Just did that to my brother inlaws 2002 stock pipe k/n filter shimmed the needle up(2 beer can widths) and drilled the main out to 90+and 7.5 rollers.Hey dre what is your main jet size.The big tire did throw all my stuff off had to upjet and play with the transmition.If you did the front tire also it will change your speedo 3to5mph slower(closer to true speed)it also made my mid weaker but great top.thats why i bought the more tuneable clutch and its back to the drawing board when i get home

..10 -20 days for delivery, but the reeds are on order...

..not riding any more than i have to until they arrive...

..PLUS, i'm tired of pushing this damned thing every time it breaks these 23100 belts...

..i've snapped 2 new ones...

..i think the 1000 sprng will be desirable with the 748-18-28 belt, and like art,i gotta fine tune the cvt once installed..

..but i do know that it ran past the 60 mph mrk on the speedometer, on relatively flat land with the 748...

..seemed to be a band that kicked in around 50 mph, and increased really quick, up to past 60...

[wordslinger]

..installed the 748-18-28 belt, NCY variator with the aluminum drive face..(longer tapered drive surface than OEM drive face)...9 gram rollers and the NCY clutch and bell with a 1000 torque drive spring, on the OEM torque driver setup...

..i love this set-up with the excepton of the torque driver...

..the OEM drivr has two different pitches to it's profile...

..the NCY's driver has one gradual profile, which i think will eliminate the mid-range lag i get with the longer belt..

..imma change out the torque driver tomorrow...

..still it hit 60 mph indicated with 1/3 throttle to go...

..8.5 gram rollers, with the same other set-up, would not turn out enough to hit that top speed...
