Default Anything out there to change gearing on M8's?
Would like to lower the too tall Softail gearing. Has anyone done this on an M8?

There's a sticky at the top of the Softail section about gearing changes only thing is we don't know if Twinky pulleys work on an M8 yet.

Yeah. That's why I was asking. I put a Sportster sprocket on my Slim and it was a direct swap with no spacers and etc. Was hoping it would be the same for my M8 Heritage. Not wanting to be the first one to try it.
