I used the twins corrector on the M2 when I went to 1/2 american spec gearing

Worked a treat and dead easy to get speedo reading bang on

Seems always a few for sale on US EBay - bought front and rear pulleys and got them shipped to a US address and my son picked them up when he was over there on business - so they came back in his suitcase - wire brush and wash after a good soaking in vinegar and the front pulley came up like new - paid less than £45 for pair but I was a bit lucky for once :sun:

just be careful that you don't buy a blast front one
same amount of teeth BUT a narrower pulley

I can't help you here but am curious as to why you would want to change to US gearing ( 5th gear US being roughly equivilent to 4th gear UK / European ).

I had my first X1 in 1999 converted to US gearing by the dealer at the point of sale and much prefer the standard UK / European gearing on my current 2000 X1 ( aside from the stupidly high 1st gear which requires clutch slipping up to about 15 mph in slow traffic ).

US gearing is the way to go :yup:
Speedo healer is a good product to allow maintenance of your UK speedo,and appears to be very accurate, when comparing with my tomtom GPS
I have been using this without problem on my X1 for a couple of years now, great tech back up to if required. just my 10p worth

hi, i have a 27 t pulley in very good condition it runs a 30mm belt however i think it may be off a sportster and i think you may have to use a sportster locking tab as it has three holes as apposed to the x1,s two hole jobbie , i also have a speedo healer you can have pm me if any good , thanks

I thought sportster ones don't fit.
I got a full set gears and speedo from a breaker in the states, everything was as described, very good working condition, think thats the way to go.

Thanks all for the info, I'll look more closely when I'm not on a Menorcan beech sipping on an ice cold G&T :ill:

Got what I needed from American eBay, fitted by Maz and the result is awesome, like a different bike. If anyone was thinking about it then I can recommend the US option

I've ridden mine on 1/2 US gearing for a while

Now considering going to full US spec - so I'm also shopping for a 27T front pully
