sorry my post was retarded... - F is the same as +R so usually -1F is +2 Rear...

well you don't usually wanna go more than -1 on the front because it's such a small sprocket it means loosing a tooth makes the bend the chain does very tight... it can cause your chain to fail.

I did -1 f +2 rear and it was a pretty drastic change... killed my mileage... but was fun. if I was to do it all again I'd probably leave the stock gearing... maybe go + 1 or 2R and that's it


also if you've done -1 on the rear means your geared up... better mileage... and less acceleration... but higher top speed.

Here are my Current Rides
The one I use most often is the O5 Busa LE
She is Running a Hahn Racecraft Turbo and Secondary Fuel Rail. Currently she puts down 257 rear wheel Horse Power with max 139 foot pounds of Torque. All of this is done without any extra holes in the plastic and run out thru a Micron can on the back .I have also upgraded the brakes to Galfler SS lines and xx pads. Cooling is handle by a Muzzy fan and a RCC Fan temperature sensor relocation kit. For the sake of comfort Heli Bars , the Buell Drop peg conversion and a set of heated grips. She has about 13k on here and I commute the 50 miles to work on her almost daily
Next up is my Ego Cruise as my wife calls it. It is a 01 Victory V92C with the following changes
The motor has been bored out to 101 CI running J&E 10.5 to 1pistons the exhaust and intake valves have been opened up and the Cams are reground Andrews producing 104 rear wheel HP 100 foot pounds of torque. The paint is stock on the fenders and the side covers and tank were reworked by a local guy who did a great job The seat is a Corbin Hollywood Solo and matching Pillion Both have flames stitched in black on black. The wheels are stock Victory Chrome spokes bought on the cheap a because they had been poorly maintained and were flaking. I had them powder coated black along with the foot boards and the front end. I honestly can’t remember where I got the bags or who made the exhaust.
My Nasty girl is my 05 Ducati 999 bi post.
Bought as a leftover in 05 the only real modification has been to swap in a 3 over rear sprocket . I will be the first to tell you I have never ridden this bike to its full potential but god it makes even someone with limited skills like me look good. I swear this chassis is telepathic and that even a duffer like me can drag a knee.
Last and by no mean least My Super Sized sport bike an 06 Goldwing
It has no real modification as I ordered most everything I wanted on it. CB great cause the truckers let you know where the speed traps are 6 disc changer AM FM , weather radio nav heated grips and heated seats . For all you guys that thing the GL1800 is a wallowing Cruiser I suggest you spend a day on one. You will find that it is much more like a sport standard that you have ever imagined. This is the puppy I ride when I am changing time zones!

o5 SV650s used for commuting and some long rides

Mods: not much, just some basics like frame sliders, seat cowl, homemade fender eliminator, m4 exhaust - which sounds fucking awesome. I want to do a swapped rear shock, lower fairing, a professional looking fender eliminator, and a tank bag. Or maybe strip it down and do track days. i don't know...

I think something close to 9K on it.

I noticed that, but I thought that I would give you the chance to redeem yourself.
