[QUOTE="Gordon North, post: 27547, member: 2577"] [b]Burman BAP gear selector meltdown[/b] Post war Panther heavyweights (500 & 600cc) used the BAP box too. I managed to destroy the selector on my Panther twice. On each occasion the selector fork seized (brazed?) itself into the groove, but this was operator error. The gears in my box were pretty worn and occasionally it would slip out of fourth gear; to prevent this I kept my foot pressed down on the gear lever until I needed to change down. Twice I destroyed a selector which tore into two major pieces (and a few other minor bits) without locking anything up and enabling a short ride back to base. Fitting a different make of box in a Panther is not an easy proposition but if the gears aren't too worn the box seems bullet proof. Certainly new selectors are available from the POC (members only) but Draganfly can also supply, I believe but if the VOC can supply, please disregard the last remarks! Cheers. Gordon North [/QUOTE]
