I have an 85 Nighthawk 450 converted to a bobber with straight pipes. I'm trying to gear the rpms down as anything over 6,000 rpm is pretty painful....it goes from harley thumping to sport bike drone. Right now it seems to do 6k-7k around 60 mph if my speedo is correct. The bike has plenty of low end power for me, and the with the close gear ratios it seems like a like taller gearing would help.
I've already gone up to a 18 tooth front sprocket. The rear wheel is off a 450E and is a 34 tooth. I haven't seen a front sprocket bigger than 18, or a rear smaller than 34.....does anyone know a substitute that will fit?
