Looks great on the bike, feels to me just as smooth so far, and changeable gearing! I'm running 14/45 right now and it is a change. first gear isn't entirely useless, but it's used up real quick. acceleration is much stronger in all gears. top speed is reading 87. don't know how off that is, feels more like 80 or so, but it gets there in a heartbeat. Engine definately sounds like it's straining more, i wouldn't run this ratio all the time, but it's great in tight and twisty. I've got a 16t to try, i'll report on that when i do.
You went the opposite direction. Gonna be hell from red light to red light with that ratio
Good to know that you have chain clearance on the swing arm with the 14 tooth sprocket though.
