RE: sporster seems like it needs a 6th gear
So, I gather from the above posts that my supposedly stock '93 883 is turning mid 3000's at 65-70 mph?...Bitch seems like she's gonna fly apart at that speed, was just curious about the rpm at hiway speeds.

Shortsport, the 30 tooth is part #40380-04. I got mine from Surdyke Harley online for $50.76. It works fine with the stock belt. The final drive ratio will be 3.80, roughly halfway between the stock 883(4.07) and the 1200(3.50) I don't have any before and after times, But I think the bike may be a little quicker due to the higher gearing keeping the engine in the 'fat' part of the torque curve a little longer. It still has no problem 'holeshotting' my bud's TC88 Heritage, if that helps.

EDIT: And yes, the 883s do sound like they're breaking when you're going that fast. The 1200s for some reason don't make those sounds, though.
