97 FXD rear sprocket size
My post somehow disappeared.
Does anyone know off hand if the stock rear sprocket on a 97 FXD is a 70 tooth unit? I think I may want to source a 68 tooth sprocket to drop my highway rpm's just a bit. I can't see on my sprocket where the tooth count is marked anywhere.

Should be 70

Well, that kind of rpm drop is not what I want. Thanks for the information, I should have looked at the math before posting.
I'm just looking for a way to drop my highway rpms without having to mess with a 6 speed conversion. A 65 tooth unit would be about a 7 percent reduction.
Odd that you would view me as delicate. I guess the winters are long up there.

I'm pulling your leg! There are frequent posts from members wanting to reduce engine speeds, for frankly no good reason. The engine is fine on stock gearing and as far as it is concerned it is very happy with life. That leaves the owner........

I know you were kidding. It was pretty obvious which was why I kidded back. No problems
I'm still interested in the swap, and if I do a rear sprocket I can switch it back with no issues if the result is not what I want. Cheap too if I can find what I want off ebay or something.
Enjoy that snow. It will be 62 degrees today here. I think I will go for a ride and change my oil afterward.
Edit, 67 degrees is now predicted. Nice.
