They used a Gold Wing rear end which was driven on the right, and the engine from the Dohc inline 4 series which was chain driven on the left. They used the dual range case to transfer power from 1 side to the other. Clever, but virtually useless in real life.
Interesting, I had that bike for a little over a year and never really thought about that. I didn't get anything out of the dual range, if I remember correctly, sometimes I wasn't completely certain if I was in hi or lo.
