So, how much top end do you lose with this setup?I think you are on the right track with a 43T rear alone? I've been running a 43T rear for ages and found it to be about the best for every day riding.
I've bounced it off the rev limiter a few timesdo you use the top end now?
Your chains gonna be shorter not longer.....so your wheel is going to be closer to the front of your swingarm, which means you'll have a whole lot more adjustment...not less. I've read that the 43 will fit just fine with the stock chain. One drawback to the 43 swap tho, is that if you like fast cruising (85-95 or so) your gonna get alot more vibration cause' your gonna be in the 4500-5500 rpm range. Besides that tho its all good......your gonna feel a big diff in powergreat link my ? is i just ordered my 43 rear and the guy said i might have to change the chain,what do u guys think, and also i'm am a everyday cruiser who wants more power but not at a bad cruising rpm will i still enjoy it on the highway as much and around town will i really notice a big difference with 17-43,and if i have to stretch the stock chain all the way back will i still have room to adjust,and is that dangrous or not thanks guys
boy, I don't know about the chain. The pictures you posted looked pretty tight. Almost to the very front of the adjustment.I have a 43 with stock front and it tears a$$
I love it!
And no need to change the chain.
