Baker got back to me they will sell a 27 or 28 tooth with longer chain and a auto adjust chain tensioner with a wider shoe for about 300. Hmmmm would 28 be too much the are inclluding the 28 with the dd6 which has no overdrive the 6th is equal to our 5 so the 28 tooth gives it the speed of a 6? Im sure my 125 hp would spin a 28t easily? End up with 5 nice and tall gears, my 1st is barely needed as is now.

When you change the sprocket it changes 6th from 1-1 (the same as our 5th) to 0.86-1.

To figure out what you currently have and and what you might like. when I made all my changes including a new OD 6 spd I was able to get a 3.31 in fith but still had a 2.84 in sixth which gave me 2600 rpm @ 70 mph. very happy with end result. Good luck.

Looks like about 2760 and 2670, figuring 8% and 11% ratio drops respectively. FWIW, my ratios are the same as yours, and I run my bike 80-85 literally all day long. I'm talking 500-800 mile days. She is very happy at those revs. I think 85 is about 3400rpm. I wear earplugs to help with fatigue....... It's a thought.
