Ok, I found the chart of the difference in rpm from stock to 29 T and 30 T. Sorry, it only goes up to 85mph, but here it is:

Pro: 1. I did not have to go to a different belt - the front pulley got bigger, but the rear pulley got smaller. 2. Much better gas mileage - that's why I changed. Con: My 2000 M-2 has a lot of torque, but 29/55 is some high gearing - great on the highway, but don't get caught in town during rush hour. Also, I can't achieve and sustain wheelies (thought about adding Viagra to my fuel). Anyway, I may drop the front sprocket back to a 27 and leave the rear at 55. Good luck. |

and not to but i thought wheelies were bad for the tubers due to the strain it will put on the front part of the case. is this true. cause i love to wheelie and ever since i heard this horror story and seen pics of the case breaking off. i will not. |

Hey Keith - I paid about $150 for the 55 tooth at my local HD store - I won't go back to the 61. Wheelies? Your info is probably correct, but I was running a 26/61 setup and the front end just wouldn't stay down. In Florida, wheelies are now against the law...like our legislators don't have anything more important to do??? I'll look for the part # if you're interested. |
