Fellow Healy friends,
I am in mid restoration of a BN1 Healy and a very early model. I had the pleasure of getting it to run and having some experience driving it before tearing it apart for restoration. The transmission is the old three speed with a backwards shift pattern. The overdrive also did not work. In putting it back together, want to upgrade to a BN2 4 speed or equivalent. I would prefer to keep the mechanical clutch linkeage but would consider hydraulics if that is a good option. The purpose of this posting is to solicit advice on this issue. The goal is to have a good four speed overdrive transmission with a shift pattern that is more standard than the BN1. Cost consideration also is a factor but secondary to four speeds.
Best Regards, John Farrington.
