Oh ok, I just hadn't seen one before with anything other than RRP..sprocket was it an actual performance issue or you just though it would be better to run larger tubes?

Anything past idle and there was so much vacuum in the engine compartment that you couldn't open hood.

Without having to read this huge thread. Do the FR's have any problems with the solas mag putting driveshaft forward 5 mm ? Local rider installing one.

They take standard SJ pump lengths. A Solas SJ-style pump shouldn't have the shaft any longer than a different SJ-style pump. Some a/m hulls do not have the exact driveshaft-thru-the-firewall spacing that allows for by-the-book (Yamaha service manual) midshaft measurements (my old Freak included!). You take that on a case by case basis. 5mm sounds small enough to make up for it with midhshaft adjustment.

Biggest difference is Foot Rocket is considerably shorter.
