Im going to install a standard Bravo XR lower. So its going 2” down to about 3,7” below bottom.

I think I have the Bravo One X upper.
I hope its ok to mix the Bravo X upper and Bravo XR lower.

I think you will be fine. Worst case may be a prop change after XR install.

In the other thread, it was determined to be X drive and not an XR.
Mating the 1.5 XR lower to the 1.36 upper X will give him the same ratio of 1.36.

Yes, as I said it looks like it is helical gears.
And with your description that if the upper is a X the upper decides what the gear ratio it will be?

So the only thing that can affect a prop change is the height of the prop shaft after I install the XR lower.

Hey Johan,
Did your CMI's leak after all?

I agree that swooping to the XR-lower will get you closer to where you want to be.

Hi,

I dont know if it was leaking or if it was reversion.. Switched to EMI Thunder pipes.
But now I have problems with my drive instead.. gears are stuck in forward. Cant switch to neutral or reverse..

I hope the XR lower will help me

I got the XR lower at home now waiting for installation. Prop shaft will be +2” lower with this, it getting me to like 3,7” below bottom.

Just dealing with another problem right now. My upper is stuck in forward gear, hope its just the clutch that is stuck in lower gear and it is just to press it out. Have another thread about this. So my upper is apart right now.
