    Roger that!! I hate things that "just don't sound right"... I had a friend that insisted on a gear drive. We put in a real good one and it was noisy beyond belief. He ran it for a while and got tired of the funny looks at stop lights. I think it's in a box in his garage - never to be mentioned again!!

    Hot roddin is really fun, eh?

    Regards All,

    ....lol!....I did exactly the same thing with a "noisy gear drive". In fact...I think I'll store that balancer and the gear drive together.

    Don't ya just hate strange noises. Even if it's supposed to make that noise. In the back of your mind you are just waiting for the exploision. I've thrown a few things away over the years because I didn't like the way it sounded. My buddies would say, "It's supposed to make that noise". But there is definately somthing to be said for "peace of mind". And I really hate walking.
