Stingray does not equal spoiler
First hurdle/s. When ordering the extra stingray items (sproket adapter, engine mount and muffler) I assumed they would work on the spoiler, which is a stingray, but not the regular stingray (I think). Or does it go by year? Anyway, the sproket adapter and engine mount don't work with my bike. Don't know about the muffler just yet. As for the sproket adapter, my bike has a disk brake so the adapter does not slide in due to the disk brake mount (see picture of red rim below). I took the disk brake off the rear hub and notice that there is the possibility to install the sproket directly to where the disk brake was, I would just have to drill holes into the sproket. I later spoke to Jim of livefast and he told me that people have done this. Anybody?? Well, I don't know about this idea. To me the thread on the disk mount and the screws that go along with it look a little flimsy and I don't see a way to upgrade them. This will be plan B. I decide to search for a rear hub that will work with the sproket adapter as it is a really solid piece of equipment. After wasting lots of time searching for the d@mn hub, I was ready to go with plan B 'cause I couldn't find one anywhere. So I go on a routine dump run and to my wicked surprise I find the "right" stingray sitting in the metals pile. A bit rusty, but it was free for the taking and it had the correct hub to fit the sproket adaptor. (see pictures of the silver rim below). Firs hurdle, jumped. I have a feeling it won't be the only one.....
