Thanks to all who responded to my questions!

I think I've seen it down to 25-30 lbs at idle, but I believe that's as
low as I've seen it. I'll watch it closely! <g>

Nothing happens when I toggle the switch. In fact, I need to tighten
things up as the switch keeps falling over and gets confused with the
turn signal lever. <g>

That's the info I was looking for - thanks! I couldn't really tell from
the shop drawings how everything looks bolted together. The drawings
and pictures I've seen always show the OD unit separate from the rest
of the tranny.
But that brings up another question (of course!). If I were to add an
OD unit can I keep using the same tranny and driveshaft? It seems to me
that the OD would extend the length of the tranny which would then
require a shorter tranny to use the same driveshaft, or a shorter
driveshaft. (See how confused I am? <g> I still can't visualize how the
bloody things are supposed to look all bolted together!)

I just hope my bike and car don't start competing for territory! <g>
