Just waiting on Speedohealer to come in. Thanks for all your advice and wisdom. One last thing, aluminum or steel sprocket ? Thoughts ?

Thanks.

I'm actually going the opposite to this topic and going down 2 teeth on the rear on my B King. This is purely for the trip to Ayres Rock in the desperate attempt to get a few more kilometres out of a tank of petrol.
I'll go back to stock after the trip

I went -1 front +2 rear. Feels great. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Careful of your steering head bearings. If you do lots of hard landings after a mono, they'll cop a beating and wear out eventually...

HUFFY if a white busa means ur gay good on ya cos if ya are trying to shorten ya gearing to get better take off ya balls is bigger than mine, The twisted Angel is glassy black and the takeoff is orsome to me.
PA King, Have you done the -2 on the rear and if so was the/or did it change the accel. much? was thinking of one maybe two on my Twisted angel to try and de-twich the take offs in town (keep forgetting two change throtle response setting)and maybee get an extra kiloflogit or two per ltr. Good/Bad idea? any help from long time owners would be great!!

i know my gearing has been changed
to what i dont know, but becareful the bike will lift with very little effort and can catch u off guard, i raised the rear on mine which made a big difference in keeping her down. jat

Mileage looked as though it was the same (350km off a tank on the highway), but it was actually better because it was a "real" 350km, not an "indicated" 350km as it was with the 43T (probably actually doing 310km off a tank) It definitely bogged down off the start at the drags, but not so much on the road, but otherwise it felt the same. Just depends what revs and what gear you ride at...

Thanx Pan,
As we dont have a strip in Kal I dont think that will be a prob that and the fact I weigh 56kg so take off should still be quick

I was using a 16T/43T setup for a few years until I sold my bus, was like a freight train, went like the clappers.
Took it on the island with that gearing and it was a dream, I weigh 130kg so I guess I could hold it steady at noise and under power out of corners.. Saying that out of Siberia is got pretty loose. Never even considered changing it back.
