Cool, thanks.

As for the sprocket, if I drop down to a 15 tooth unit, how much speed am I likely to be sacrificing? I am trying to figure out if the extra acceleration is worth it. If my top speed drops to 140mph, I can live with that. If it drops it to 120mph, then it is not worth it.

I want to find that middle ground where I gain a little while only giving up a little...

I just went to a 15 tooth on my CBR 1k and I had it up to 157 this morning so I am not sure how much I lost.
