I didn't know they made the second system so right now I am not leaning towards that because the difference is a rear tire in price!

They look nice. What did you decide on tires and suspension? For your needs

Also looking at chain and sprocket right now. From the looks of it, -1/+2 front/rear which would make it a 14 front and 42 rear. That would make the gear ratio 3.00. I will be using it for mostly in town driving, but I will be making several trips of over 100 miles several times a month. Would that be a good setup? I am looking at buying everything I need fromthe same site I posted ^. Tires, exhaust, air filter, chain, sprocket, and whatever else I find up there. I really don't know that much about gearing, and I am not looking to build a wheelie machine at all. I just know that there are better setups than the stock. Thank you for your time and comments! - Matt -

ok, more explicit, what tires did you find? To me, gearing is like ya mentioned above but entails some other thoughts.

The tires I am getting are the Avon Super Venoma AM20 and AM18. From what I have read, they are the best sport tire for my bike. I am just sticking with the stock rims, so yea, that's all I got for now...what are the other thoughts on gearing you have. Sorry, it has been a party night and I am surprised I am typing as well as I am. Thanks for the responses Dragone!

cool, you found some tires. I do not know of the profile or sizes that you chose. But has to be better than bald tires.

The Avon's I am getting are 110/90v16 and 130/90v16...$81 and $97 respectively. I have been reading and they are the best sport tire for the bike. The Bridgestone's were next in line but they have been said to be a harder compound than the Avon's. Also, I have been reading more about the gear ratio's and I think 3.00 might be a little high when the top speed of this bike is stock 140.7. I don't really care if I can go that fast, but I know that 2.60 is not the greatest for acceleration. I have also been looking at ignition advancers. What do they do? Do they just advance the timing? What are the pro's and con's? Thanks again!

I see that the Avons are both 90 profile. The stock front was a 90 also? cool, was just thinking on the geometry changes was all.

I normally like to try just +2 on the rear sprocket to try her out kind of deal. Dropping one on the front only tends to really upset my liking in a ride.
