  Truth be told GB did not steer me wrong on the 18 T front sprocket, and so I decided to go with the 38 rear one to follow in GB's footsteps. There are a few others with this mod and I have heard nothing negative about it. So it was a go for me.

I went with Scootworks.  I know they've gotten some bad press on this forum for in-stock, delivery time, etc., but I got really good service and the delivery time was good.  I went with their suggestion on brand and sizes on the sprockets.  I ended up going 18/38 and am happy with it.

 No I just went to the local Honda shop and had them order them in for me, steel, for sure, and they ran about $40.00 ea give or take a bit. Too much of a hassle to get them through customs, GreenBarn will be better to help you with this then me, GB help him out.

So just out of curiosity, where did you buy the sprockets from? Is there somewhere online that sells them? Not much in the way of import bike shops here.

    ;)don't tell GreenBarn, his head is large enough as it is" ::)

I had read about the swap, then was thinking on it, GreenBarn and a couple of others were chatting about it and so I tired it on the front first, what a difference, and so simple, so this winter I am going to do the rear one too. then to the other 10 to 15 projects planned for the bike over the winter......

No, I haven't done the sprocket swap yet. I was wanting to though. It's on my list of things to try and get done this winter. Along with replacing the petcock, cleaning the tank, and other random things. it seems like it is definitely worth it though.

Well that is convenient, having someone with the same setup as me. Thanks.

Yea, but be careful here...  Ratman had to wear his tin hat all summer for that setup to work out.... ;D ;D

I have Road House exhaust and I switched to a K&N air filter and was told prior to this it was ok to do it. I rode all summer with this and had no issues.

If you're just replacing the filter then no you shouldn't have to rejet.
The stock jets are 48pj and 135mj.
