So far just the standard Bravo XR :eek: . I have replaced upper gears twice and lowers once. We are still researching to find a drive that will not cost to much speed. Checking on surface drive for reliability.

Thanks for the info guys.
I am in need of an upper on my XR at 171 hours, it appears the clutch is toast, lags going into gear.

Leakdown test shows the motor real healthy, I am interested in the RTech & Whipple systems.

Keep rockin' out there & post some pictures, would love to see the hardware in those single engine Fountains.
