@98hotrodfatboy Yes, 34/46 & 30/66 is what I have now. My rear tire is a 160/70-17. I seem to remember the stock gearing giving me 3000 rpm at 80 mph. Now it's around 3300 at 80.

 

 

@Rusty Springs Just wanted you to know, o made a mistake.. 70@2700 and 77@3000... Don't know what I was thinking..
2700-2850 Is the sweet spot for my setup..

 

Pardon my mess! Got the rear motor mount installed yesterday and the swingarm in place. Gotta get my neighbor over to help me torque it to spec. Figured out the spacing for my shocks also. With any luck I'll get it buttoned up this week. Depends on how late I sleep. Night shift life! 😴

 

Gonna pull the trigger on the Viking Lamellar bags this week. Thinking of painting them chopper blue to match the tins and fairing. Thoughts?

 

They look great as they come, but paint may very well look better. @ least in my opinion paint would be a nice improvement.
Have you asked how good the bags hold paint?
I am definitely ignorant on what people do with these bags as painting these bags may be common...🤷

 

Swingarm is on and torqued to spec. Shocks on and torqued to spec. Axle shaft and brake caliper hand tight. For whatever reason I feel like my chain isn't long enough now. I have a brand new spare just in case. Maybe the Brocks swingarm is longer than OEM? Either way progress has been made!

Edit: Brocks swingarm is longer but with adjustment I shouldn't have to lengthen the chain.

 

Are you using a chain slider?

 

Yes. And I bought a fresh one. The old one wasn't grooved terribly though.

 

Very nice
