You can put a 68t pulley from a sportster on the rear. Easier to swap out.

I've got one waiting to go on my bike.

More teeth on the rear has the same effect.

I did the EVO industries 30 tooth sprocket and been real happy with it. A lot of people shy away from it because you lose the compensator but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

if I remember dropping one tooth on the front equals 3 teeth higher on the rear, larger rear sprocket faster acceleration less top speed

I'm a 30 tooth trans sprocket and I still use the highways. The city streets are a lot of fun too, just as I wanted them to be.
