Orion question...

[stevecast]

this all sounds like chinese, does AA sell it complete no used parts just bolt in??

 

[calstyl2]

No but some other shops do sell a version with mainly new shafts, etc, used cover plates ann misc hardware, AA dropped the complete unit idea

 

[D'Animal]

The only part you re-use off your old case is the front drive shaft cone and some covers.

Check Poser's build up on it.

Actually call AA and Ask if they have their HD Orion available yet. If so that will be a drop in model. It had been delayed for a while.

Yup, but the HD has no option to install the stock parking brake. Some sort of disc brake aftermarket unit would need to be used/fabricated.

 

[Poser]

Or a provision for a speedometer cable drive, which may not be that big of a deal along with the no parking brake provision, but it is not a drop in replacement for a stock case.


You will need to find someone to properly assemble an Orion if you want a ‘drop in stock replacement’ unit.

...or simply switch to a later, e-brake equipped rear axle.

I had a chance to play around with the AA Orion HD last weekend... as noted by all the folks above no park brake, however it does have a speedo option (speedo sensor not cable). The front output setup was designed for a twin-stick setup, etc. Heres a couple pic I snapped

Wow, that is nice!

Did they mention how much they're gonna cost?
Need to get an Orion soon... H41/42 coming soon.
