          So you guys are taking a wheelie monster and making it a wheelie BEAST...hehe...

          Do you feel a big difference with +2 in the rear?

            Running 17/40 here as well.

            It always seemed to be geared to the moon before and I found myself cruizin' the highway in 5th, then eventually realizing there was another gear in the box. Makes it easier to ride everywhere I think, and less slipping in first while in traffic.

            I have a nifty little Excel spreadsheet that figures out all kinds of neat gearing stuff for you. Just plunk in your ratios and it tells you speeds in gears and lots of other non-sensical crap. Pretty little graphs are created too! I will attach it here for anyone who is interested. It has stock TLs ratios in it now, but you can change any value you like to suit your application.
            If it ain't broke, lighten it.

                2 teeth up in the rear isnt going to make it rrazy, always wanting to lift the front, but it does add just a tad more "torque" for those full hammer corner exits

                    My "S" is running a 17/40 with a 16 front in the mail...

                    One of the "R"s I ride with is 16/41 and one is 16/43 but all three with lower gearing are great for in and out of the sh_tty traffic in this country
                    Just a few mods:

                    Silver, the fastest color!

                    On the inside - HID type bulbs, K&N filter, Iridium ix plugs, 16T front sprocket, Coerce billet sprocket cover, Yosh re-map +5, +5, +5 11 o'clock, Scorpio SE-i500 system from my GB and an ATRE.

                    On the outside - TLR forks, front carbon fender, 5/8th master brake cylinder, black SS brake lines (frnt & rear), braking waves all around with Ti bolts, Brembo gold front calipers & a busa gold rear caliper, flush mount signals (frnt & rear), ZG DB scr

                            17/41 "R" Pulls like a beast with good highway speed.

                              Stock gearing, I like the longer 2nd gear vs the 2up on the rear tiller I rode.
