I know it helps the 1300 but would I be getting the shi#@y end of the deal?take off will suffer slightly, but you can run it farther up before hitting the rev limiter. only time i've seen another 1800 beat a "swapped" 1800 is when the "unswapped" 1800 started out in 2nd gear. simply put, with the 1300 gearing you'll be shifting around 40-45mph before hitting the limiter as opposed to 30-35mph on 1800 gearing. so as the "unswapped" 1800 is shifting your still excellerating. kind of equals out until the top end when the 1300 gearing will get you to a higher mph. thinking of trying this myself, not really into the drag racing and more into putting on the highway miles. good luck and ride safe

Justin, if you are still looking to do the swap out let me know cuz i would definetly be interested
i gotta say, for the 3 weeks i got to ride my 1300 with the 1800 final drive, i friggin loved it. took a small hit to mpg, but i was always taking off like crazy and doing my damnedest to drive it like a crotch rocket. it is louder when cruizing around and at first i was always looking for a 7th gear. but you get used to it pretty quick. id definately reccomend any 1300 riders that like to play around to do this. if youre more of a nice peaceful, long cruizin kinda guy, id say no.....
