K i know this has prolly been covered in depth but here goes again....
Wanting to change the front sprocket for better accel...so stockers are 15 teeth correct?...and for better accel i want a 14 tooth sprocket?  Anyway i have a 04F does anyone have a link to buy one for an F or will any sprocket for a gs work on an F?  Also im looking for a set of rearsets for an 04 but have been unsuccessfull anyone know a company that makes after market or a good conversion i need some better clearance as im scraping the sides and toes on my sidi's in the twisties TIA  :)

Stock front sprocket is 16T.  14T has been done, and will make it go straight up, but puts a lot of strain on the chain because it's so tight a turn to get around it.  Most guys go for a 15T as a good compromise.

Quit hanging your toes off the pegs.

CFM Woodcraft makes rearset for the GS. Others have modded CBR rearsets. A search will reveal a lot. There is a recent topic on this.

+1   Scraping toe isn't the same thing as scraping peg ;)
