Dave, I have done both pulleys. And yes, as a matter of fact I DO just happen to have a metal lathe in my carport. It comes in handy when I am tinkering. If you are running a tire with a 79" circumference you would be geared just a little higher than me. Do a roll-out measure just for the hell of it. Do you have any clearance problems bottoming out on the fender? I put a 3/8" rubber spacer over the shock rods just in case and jacked-up the preload one notch. What did you do for a speedo? I did a overlay on the stock one and marked new lines as per the gps. Built a covered holder over the handlebar clamps to hold a android phone with a gps speedo app that works very well. I can adjust the color and brightness to my whims at night. Srotag, Thanks for the input on the beads. I am going to try the ceramic ones 2oz in the rear and 1oz in the front.(Damm that just sounded like some kind of code for a drug deal. No officer, I'm talking about balancing my tires.) Good luck with the 404's I just wore out a 130/90 - 15 on mine. I was happy with the handling and grip, but only got 7400 miles of easy cruising on it. About the same as on my PC800 a few years ago now that I think about it. When I took it off I found a 3" wire nail thru it! Don't know how long it had been there, but it never lost any air! I'm glad I went tubeless. I am hoping for 10 to 12 thousand on this 230 then I'll try a 777 HD.
