Alright i had time to sit down and figure out the gearing commander link. Very helpful thanks.
Looks like my tire circumference is 79.21 from a 130/90/16 tire
So if i go to 14-41 i will only be 30 rmps higher than stock at highway speed.
What i currently have comes out to a 20.31% difference in rpms than stock :o
Now i have to figure out what this rear wheel came off of to get a sprocket for it. I'm guessing a yamaha by the mag rims. And i guess i better check that the sprockets are made for the same size chain also. Never know what the guy before missed.

Spring for a 16, the sprockets aren't that expensive. Less wear on the chain. The bigger the sprocket the better.

Good call. :thumbup:
I spends a couple hours trying to figure out what this back wheel came from, I think Yamaha XS 550, but i'm not 100%.

A 16 on the front will get me to about the same as 15-47 which I seen some people like to go to anyways.
