Arguing over a forum is like fighting a guy in a wheel chair, even if you win you still look like a jackass.  Use the forum for what its made for which is to pass the knowledge and experience that we have gained over the years (or months) we have had with our bikes.


So I think I want to get a 14 tooth front sprocket.  I generally ride around in a lower gear because I like the pep more so maybe it will be nice.  I dont feel like reading through this though so anyone care to comment on a good place to buy one for an '07?

I got my sprocket from bikebandit. its a 45, but im sure they 14 for the front too. dont know, didnt look. but probably. shipped in 3 days.

Nothing for nothing, had a 15 on my GSF when I bought it and rode it for the first time for about 100 miles and hated it! Wrapped out too fast felt like the bike was vibrating to death.

Have since went back to stock and loved it. I guess when you have no skill you make the excuse with torque and power until it is your downfall?

if more power = less skill then why don't you own a 250? because you obviously have more skill than every modified bike rider ever

Greg we don't fight we discuss

As far as Black and Silver..your way of thinking kills more people then it saves is all I was saying. "If" you think that a quick burst of power will ever save you from a bind or death then rev your bike up as high as you can and run it into a brick wall idiot!!!! Moron!

What most responsible riders do, experienced or not!, is check them selves!

SKILLS =  Experience + Knowledge + Good Judgement + Foresight and that is developed over time and age. I did some stupid arse things when I was young but I always had this thought in my head....."If you make a mistake you are dead" and luckily I didn't! But after riding for over 36 years I will say I have skills in the context that I was speaking of. You want to race? Sure! I will race with in the guidelines of a posted speed limit. If you want to go faster I will let you go past me. So ultimately you win are you happy?

this is gravedigging, but i DEFINATELY want to do this as my first real mod.

the biggest thing is finding a sprocket that'll fit my ride...
