Oh, forgot to mention something... you may already know, but the 900c's are shaft drive. One more purpose of the sub-trans is re-routing the motor's left-drive output shaft behind the engine and to the right where it runs through the swing arm. This little "detour" takes up a bit of extra space, so Honda made the frame slightly larger to accomodate. I believe the swingarm was shortened as well to offset the additional frame length.
