    Why do you want a reduction starter? Other than you really like to spend lots of money I mean.

    Ok I got a reductions starter from USA industries it cost $100 including the $20 core charge I didn't want to give my original back... With the osgr it fit perfectly and I had MORE room to instal than the original absolutely no modifications to anything but the ign wire ( needed spade connector) turns amazing and fires very quick by far the best upgrade this old whore has ever seen !!! Took like 15-20mins for the instal and I solder my connections.

    Because they offer more torque than a non-reduction starter.
