Any of you guys know who supplies one? I'm thinkin of going that route to save some weight up front. I've heard there are few out there but one in particular is just like w/ pwr assist.

Jon you may want to research that a little . Most have a 20:1 ratio compared to our pwr assisted 14:1 . Can you say row , row, row your boat.

There is a guy who has one w/ a 12.1 ratio. I'm gonna have to ask him some more info on that one though.

With a 12:1 ratio unassisted be prepared to flex some muscle when hitting the twisties and it compounds with more caster , camber and wide tires. 12:1with skinnies onthe front no problem, but I don't think that is your game though.
