That brings up the point that it depends on how far down the derailleur hangs. One for your bike would probably require the one with the claw hanger. I have recently purchased one of these also and may use in on my SuperSport to replace a V-gt that I have had on it for 40 years. The VXs is a nice unit.
Great point! I will have to use a claw hanger and my guess is that they don’t hang as low as more modern bikes so that might further limit the VX-S reach. I’m leaning more and more towards a VX GT. Thank you!
