Just converted my s to a sf
 
so as the title states just converted to the sf wheels
I noticed the rear sprocket is the same as my s wheel
I think it said 42

anyways from searching the stock sf sprocket is a 39
now the local shop I order from have them for $50
is that a decent price, or is there online sellers for less money


I am using a 15 counter sprocket that was to help lower the freeway rpm's which it did work good at

Im sure my freeway top speed will be reduced some with this gearing and smaller tire, just not sure how much
I did have a max gps of 86 mph before
if its not raining tomorrow im going to test before buying anything

I guess if you figure going up one size in front is the same as going 3 smaller in the rear
then my gearing may be the same as stock sf gearing



and is the kickstand different on the sf
mine works, but is not angled much, which acutally works out good as it give me more parking space in my garage

just makes it a little hard for me to get off the bike because its up so straight when sitting on it

now I could cut mine, weld the foot up higher but was just wondering if the sf used a shorter kickstand




it was raining too much to ride it , but I did get it around the block a couple times I could tell it turns sharper or faster
got my drd speedo healer programmed to read correctly too

With shipping you would probably be over $40 so it's not going to be much of a difference.

My SF kickstand measures in right at 1 foot.

no thats a good price even with shipping
because my store I would need to pay tax, and pick it up
so having it delivered to my house for around $10 cheaper why not

Also ordered this tail bag
to replace my larger carrier want to change up the looks of the bike a little
plus I can still always attach the larger carrier when needed and have good room with the smaller bag

Looking good!

so as I thought I lost about 4 mph top speed on a quick test
and higher rpm on the freeway because basically im back to the stock gear ratio

So once the new sprocket comes in I should be back to my normal rpm I grew used to
get a little more out of the bike before shifting, I noticed I hit the limiter alot now

nothing strange on how it handles, I like it
and I like how its a little lower too, since im used to riding small scooters

too bad they didnt have this model at the store when I bought my bike probably would of got it

Plus I like the fact I can swap out the wheels easily
