The old countershaft boss is bored out and a super thick replacement piece is helli-arc welded into place on the pre-heated case. After normalization, both the main shaft boss and countershaft boss are jig bored to exact tolerances. New bearings are then installed at both locations. Please note: this process eliminates the use of the speedometer drive gear.

Sportsters Weak Point

If you’re planning to hop up your pre-1973 HD Sportster engine, don’t overlook the lack of support for the transmission countershaft at the bearing boss. A major design flaw, since corrected by the factory, often results in a disastrous failure during racing or hard street use, especially with big inch motors.
