Do you have a transbrake? If so, that will break s/s gears. You WILL need to go with pro gears. They are softer, will wear out quicker, but won't break as often.

for what its worth, had 12 bolt built last year, my builder highly recomended that i not use richmond gear, he said they have had a lot of trouble with them, he recomended u.s. gear or motive.
