I went 16/44 like Rickey G suggested......
I like it... It let the axle move way back on the swingarm.... I am 1/16 of an inch in front of the last alignment mark on the arm.... It really helps keep the front down..... I was at 17/46= 2.705 and like this much better..... 16/44 comes to a 2.75..... Just much better IMHO....

Yes, my next chain and sprocket setup will 16/44. By the way how many miles are we getting out of a chain. Oldkneedrager/RedElk!

I imagine with the NOS you have on there a 16 /44 is quite a bit more manageble eh Richard?

What's the 16/44 like on the street as opposed to the dragstrip? Does it wheelie less than the with the stock gearing?
Any response is appreciated.

Its alot less wheelie prone.. 100% better in my opinion.... I can hammer first no NOS and keep it down pretty well..... I am a bigger rider though... Going to get wheelbase tomorrow I hope.... Need a buddy to hold the other end of the tape........

Anyone tried 17/45...I'm thinking maybe the smaller 16 will be hard on the chain? How about it being wheelie prone with this combo?
Thanks Guys!

The 16/44 gearing is great for the street as long as you are not going to ride for a long time.(gas milealeage) The speed ometer is off by 5 mph and you are adding miles if you dont have a yellow box. The front end stays down better because of the wheel being further back.

I got my yellow box set ay 14.25% with the 16/44 combo...... I stopped and talked a Missouri state trooper into clocking me at 65 by my speedo..... He came up with 64. My speed was between 64 and 66 the whole time. So I'm probably only 2 mph off at worst... Hard to maintain exactly 65..........
