    HFS, they want to mount a 40R? That's more than most cars run...

    I forgot to mention if you do the sprocket change and 520 conversion kit you will want to rejet your bike after to even out the throttle response. I think you should try doing this all and will most likely be happy with it till you save up enough for a new bike.

    rejet after a sprocket change?

    seems a little unnecessary. I can kinda see what you're saying, but the motor if tuned properly is going to run the same regardless of how it's geared.

    Well not positive on a carb bike, but when I did the sprocket change on my CBR's I had horrible throttle response and had a "power band" spot that was really dangerous in the canyons; kicked in unexpectedly. I got a PCIII to remap it (since it is FI) and it smoothed it all out giving me constant power through my rpm's. Maybe it is not necessary, but it helps a alot.

    I did have a few mods on there like headers and exhaust so that could have been why it helped so much too. A good tune can never be a bad thing though especially up here in high altitude.

    this is what I read on the bottom.

    Jacket has CE protectors elbow, shoulder and back.

    problem is geeting to a motorcycle shop. they all close before my store does and they are not open when I am off.
