Just a bit of a teaser/inspiration for you French Resistance Fighters out there.

Mcmaster-Carr. #9416K11. 50lb for mid rev shift, 60 for High Rev with a stock variator. Pick up a ball end, mounting ball and rod end while you’re there, and a gates AX30 belt.

You will have to lose your center stand and a chunk out of your frame, so get that angle grinder ready.

No need for a Varplus, and it makes dismounting your engine a Breeze.
