Deuce overdrive

[engineer233]

Just curious if anyone here has used the overdrive kit from Waterloo specialties ? I was browsing on eBay and saw this . Are these really worth the money ?

Is the idea to go faster or to run at a lower RPM to improve fuel milage?

You can gain some speed by installing taller tires and turning the RPM up a hair.

I personally think that anything over 65 in a deuce is too fast without major mods to the brake system (conversion to discs and/or replacing the old master cylinder with a dual one).

Be careful what you wish for.

It is supposed to be for extra speed I think. I Just thought it would be nice to keep my stock tires and be able to run 60 mph.
