I am currently in the last phase of testing of my super high performance replacement XR lower gearsets. They are CAD designed using state of the art metal, machining, and finishing processes. I will have them ready to sell end of 1st quarter 2020. I will be doing testing soon on super high performance XR upper gearsets. They should be ready by end of 2nd quarter 2020. I have attached pics of the lowers.https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...facea739c4.jpg

Stay tuned here on OSO and FB for updates 1st quarter of 2020.

any idea on pricing smitty?!

Smitty 08-19-2019 09:48 PM

Not yet. There may be some changes before production that may or may not affect pricing. Of course they will be more than the Merc junk as one would expect. Stay tuned....

If you need someone to test upper gears for you, I am your man. My 28' cat destroys them
