Awesome work! I too wish I had the talent and innovation. I do get ideas, just not the know how, lol. I'd figured more low end is what most people would want, on all the bikes I've had, from motocross to street, I always end up lowering my gearing. I currently on the monster, have two teeth more on the rear and on the track GSXR, one down on the front and two up on the rear. On my MX bikes, at my level at the time(mid pack novice), I'd go up one for outdoors and two up for indoors.

With all the work and tuning my Vaq has it's low end was more than adequate. Since alot of my ridin is hiway type speeds getting the engine rpm down was a goal. Last Sunday's ride netted 48.5 mpg on the first tank of gas.

If I want more acceleration I get on my 165 H.P. Busa that weighs 60 pnds less than a stocker, 500 lbs with a full tank, which is 300 pnds less than the Vaq. Instant cure for the need for better acceleration!!!

Thanx for the compliments.
