Default put the 30t on my night train

I'm certain this has been well documented by many many others.

installed the andrews 30t sprocket on my '07 last week. (66t @ wheel)
borrowed the george's garage 2.25" deep socket with pilot fr a brother.
serious torque on the main nut as well known.
we beat on that nut 30 seconds at a time and it took 6 cycles for the compressor to reset to 175psi.
how or why anyone would attempt that 2.25" nut removal without the right tool(s) is beyond me.

i also dropped one belt tooth and put on a 132 falcon bdl. my stock was ripping teeth. the axle adjustment is basically in the same stock location. so doubt it would have taken a stock 133t belt.

$135 on the 30t socket, $108 belt, $48 on inner/outter gaskets, $11 HD sealing bolts, $6 on a 30MM socket (for clutch hub). I had primary oil, made a locking bar for compensator to clutch.

seat of the pants is nice on the low end. hit it hard and hang on. top end passing power is a plus. at 80mph my digital mini-tach shows 2.9. very sure the speedo is off now. will check vs another bike or smartphone gps someday. not really worried about it. i have a notable new buzz (vibration) at 75mph, not unpleasant but notable.

good upgrade for the cost. total time on the project once I began 3.25 hrs.
will be doing this upgrade to a couple of other club bikes.

Really interested in this modification. If you do another bike could you do a picture layout with explanations.
