gear noise

hello bill,
i have a golden eagle tanaka ,tanaka 40 piped hp carb vel stack. i like it very much. i feel thought that the engines is asking for more gears and i already have a 14 on there.
it looks like you have tried the golden eagle, staton, and now you have the sick bike that you just did recently. i thinking the gearing option so thinking of the staton with the new 3 gear he has available.i will aso put the tanaka engne on it. my only reservation is that the staton can be heavy and the gearbox can be noisy. im also realy interesten in your sbp with husuag 4 stroke, i have been looking for a person like you that have tried all of this. isaw that you have also used the husuang motor before,how is the dependability on this engine. how is the maintenance with the spb.can you please tell me the pros and cons on the staton and spb frame mount. thank you in advance

I liked the staton . IMO the staton is the best rack mount you can buy. Its practically bullet proof. When new the staton did have gear noise but the noise went away with mileage. Cant comment on the 3 gear. The Husuang is ok but if you can swing it go with the honda. I loved the tanaka.can't wait to here the results with the staton 3gear. Still working out the bugs on the sbp

Staton-----no problems I just don't like rack mounts.I had about 600 miles on the staton before i sold it

rear mount

what did you not like about rack mount. i have not tested a frame mount yet. is it the ride or the looks looking forward to see you experience with sbp. i also want the idea of being able to change gears. thank you for your reply again
