I wouldn;t think the override would affect the forward gears, it should only engage the rev limiter in reverse at a point as low as 2/3 throttle. I only ask this since you have a rare trike I would love to have but are you sure, you didn't somehow remove the rev limiter all together did you? it kind of sounds like you did so be careful.
I wanted to remove my reverse override on my 2002 scrambler, with a clutch kit my srammy won;t even move in reverse without pressing it, but was told I would be removing the rev limiter all together if I overrode it so I never bothered. I lack the self control to not blow the motor.
glad you go things worked out to your favor though, just my $0.02
