Just a word, I don't know what your wife prefers, if torque of the line or speed down the line or basically around town riding . . .

Some would prefer to add to the rear sprocket while most go to 14 on the front sprocket . . . I am riding a 14/48, top speed is gone, but, around town, great . . . 15/48 was OK but, I was working 2nd-3rd way to much for nothing around the city, now, is just 3rd . . . check this out, http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/jtchain/hbund/jtchain.html

Ha Ha!  Funny you should show that.  I ordered a pile of parts from Jeff on Monday to include that sprocket combo (they should be here tomorrow).  I also got the tail chop package  

As far as teeth I went with what I like on mine, 14/48 as well  

 

A box of Monster Parts goodness was on my front door when I got home from work!

This weekend I plan to chop the tail, install the MotoDynamics integrated tail light, install sprockets and chain, dye the sprocket and belt covers, de-sticker the frame, and do some deep cleaning. 

Oh and I'm sure a couple beers will be consumed during all this....I better hold off prior to cutting the frame though. 

Jeff also has kick-ass commercials

Ever since I saw Izzak's "Filter Forensics" thread I can only buy Hi-Flo's.

I still have about 4 of HF153 . . . It's what I use on my bike . . .

This is rapidly becoming a mod thread...

should I move it now?

If you like, I wasn't sure when I started it.  I will be adding quite a bit more to it.

Thanks

I'm going to move it to the Major Build thread.

You have a project on your hands.

Excellent!  I have a lot to do in the mean time.  One update...Tail is chopped!





My wife is already getting excited too.  She just put this on her Volkswagen Beetle.  This is gonna be quite a change from the cruisers she is used to but I am excited for her!
