Default Gear ratio on Heritage Classic -08,anybody ?

Hi,anybody who know the transmissions gear ratio on Heritage Classic -08.I really would like to compare this to my Fat Bob because
i like the gear ratio on the Heritage better.My transmissions gear ratio on the FB are:
1 gear = 9,312
2 gear = 6,421
3 gear = 4,774
4 gear = 3,926
5 gear = 3,279
6 gear = 2,790
&nbsp\\;
It also would be helpful to know the size of the Heritage sprockets.
My sprocketsize are:
&nbsp\\;
Engine = 34
Clutch = 46
Transmission sprocket = 32
Rear wheel = 66
&nbsp\\;
If both transmissions and sprockets are the same it must be the tires outside diameter who is different between the bikes.Because of speedlimits and roads it is a lot of shifting gears 4-5-4-5 all the time on the FB,this was much better on the Heritage Classic i tested,i could run on the 5 gear all the time without shifting gears.

Hi,yes the primary drive seem to have equal ratio on both Heritage and FB. But how many teeth have the "transmission sprocket" and the sprocket on the wheel ?
