You must have gotten an early start today! So how does it handle now? I see you went with the furthest mounting hole for most control.

I was told to start in the middle with mine. The first hole is basically stock on my rear bar. Can't wait to use it.

Yeah, I liked that too! Seems to really hang in there from one gear to the next. Must be a fairly close ratio on the trans. Do you know the various ratios for each "gear"?
