Gearing

those #'s look close to what myself and bob c fig. out, except the stock tack is off by 3-500 rpm....
I've had my bike pull 295 indicated in 5th.

Remember the tacho is optimistic by at least 5% as well as the speedo. I made the wheel diameter 24.47 inches, circumference is 76.92 with the OE tyre. If you could pull 11200rpm, which is way over peak power, you'd get this with standard gearing.

1st = 83
2nd = 112.7
3rd = 142
4th = 164.6
5th = 190.2
6th = 211.8

If you have a particular top speed in mind it's better to work out the gearing so that peak power occurs at that speed in 6th, as long as you have enough power. For example, lets say that peak power was at 10000rpm, to gear the bike for 200mph you would use 18/41 gearing.

brocks pipes hold full power right to the rev limiter !
25 HP more than stock near redline!

With his pipe I would think it will pull its maximum speed with stock gearing..

Like the fly's out mod....
its uncanny, almost like Kawi knew we would all unplug the bitch,

their hands are tied with the speed restrictions, and emissions...

15 ?
I would stay away from 15, and go bigger out back instead.
The smaller the travelling circumference around front sproket, the more HP is lost.
Also, I think you would saw through the chain slider in no time with a 15.

The swingarm, chain slider is pretty much straight shot onto the 16
15 would cause premature chain slider wear IMO
