Thanks

Isn't the 3.00 first gear for the FX's. I thought the FLH's had a lower first. Something like 3.34 (I could be wrong though).

I don't have access to any real info here but I thought the FXs were 2.60ish?
I think that's what my 5/4 tranny has in it. I always figured if I had a 3.00 I would be able to go even smaller than 48t at the rear wheel.

I'm taking this info from my 70 to 74 Harley Service manual.  It doesn't differ between FX's and FL's.  It also lists the ratios for 3 speeds with reverse.  I also have a 78 1/2 to 84 manual, but haven't located transmission ratios yet.      Marty

after 1974 I think fx and fxe  went from 3.00 to 2.45 first gear.
