No better place to top it out than the busiest freeway in the nation.

Re: Chain/sprocket recommendations?
I believe 15/45 is a very popular one. I put it on my 929 and it was great, but you need to be careful with the throttle until you get used to it. I think you will find that most people that have this gearing will agree.

BTW, don't get the cheapest 520 conversion out there, as it is unlikely to last. I purchased mine from Dan Kyle. kyleusa.com. It was around $250.00 shipped.
