I was thinking of the Andrews 30T -

Would rather be able to find a 68T rear pulley. Noticed some help just going with a 880 Metzler rear tire as it is low profile compared to stock OEM FLSTF rear tire.

Use the search feature, there was a thread recently about using the pulley from a sportster. Sorry, I don't remember if it was the European or Japanese version that works.

You said that you dropped 2 teeth so if I am correct you went from 25 teeth to 23.
I have a 06 flhx and very much wanting to do either 23 teeth or 22 but just not sure which one. I am wondering how much will each of them kill my top end. My top end solo is about 115mph. I am wondering will I still get 100mph out of the 22 teeth sprocket?

Did you loose the compensator completely or change the sprocket on the compensator? Where did you purchase the sprocket from?
Thanks
