Thanks,
If I knew exactly what RPM it ran with the 68 tooth at either 70 or 75 I could figure out what the RPMs would do at those speeds with a 30 tooth added.
I could figure the same using my 32/66 tooth combo, if I knew what my RPM's were at either of those speeds. Unfortuneately my bike currently is sitting without a seat,tank or fairing so I can't take it out and check..

Wow.... 30t/68t incredible
I finally got everything buttoned back up and all I can say is WOW. I switched out my front pulley from a 32T to a 30T, switched out my rear from a 66T (without IDS) to a 68T (with IDS) added the SE Compensator and also installed a chrome inner primary.
The bike has tons more pep where I normally ride (in the city) and has no problems on the highway. Plus the gearing is better all around for riding. With the old setup I was either too low or too high in each gear. Now I'm more in the middle and I can go as low as 2000 rpm and not lug the engine. I still have my sixth gear indicator and cruise still works. Now my speedo is still off... I'm gonna use the Dakota Digital module to adjust it. Don't know how that's gonna affect the sixth gear light or cruise yet.
I only put on around 25 miles with the new set-up. I'll report back when the Dakota Digital is installed and I have more miles.
A MUST do for those looking for more power!!!

Every one tooth on the front sprocket equals two teeth on the rear. Essentially I went up six teeth on the rear. Plus my belt did not need to be changed. Changing out both put my belt in middle of the adjustment range. I could have easily changed out the front, the back or both. I choose both for more low end torque.

Just so I'm clear, changing to a 30T in the front gives more low end torque (and higher highway RPM) than stock.
So, changing to a 30T in front, and to a larger rear sprocket in the rear, gives even more low end torque (and higher highway RPM) than just the 30T in front?
Thanks
