Yellow? That's not yellow. This is yellow. The second is more like yours. Since the bike's no longer shift red I should probably drop "Ruby Rabbit." And I've added a matching Power Bronze lower fairing from the Superbike Store. It looks way cool. I'll have to take some more pics. Mike

It's easier on the chain to increase sprocket diameters so if you're looking for an incremental change start off by adding on to the rear sprocket. If you reach the limits of adjustability and still need more you can drop the front. Because. . . . . .when you drop the size of a sprocket...
