[QUOTE="loafer, post: 452225, member: 10508"] It's not THAT hard to find a manual gearbox IMO. Just needs some patience and resourcefulness. If all else fails you can always buy everything brand new except for the gearbox. Most of the parts from my conversion were new except for the flywheel, clutch, shifter, shifter carrier (think that's what it's called) and of course the gearbox. Fuel consumption wise I'm getting about 450-480km for roughly 55+- litres of petrol. This is a mix of highway and city but predominantly highways. I usually pump full and I always try to pump right when the needle reaches the last quarter if possible. Back when I was on auto setup I was getting around 400km for a full tank or less, never more. Appetite for fuel is seriously dependent on how heavy your right foot is. Both the 325 and the 328 is pretty economical provided you don't unleash the power one too many times. IMHO for the amount of enjoyment you get out of these machines, it's well worth the money spent for roadtax and petrol. cheers. [/QUOTE]
