I do take the wife on the back sometimes, but I am not a road racer, and thats what downshifting is for anyway...
She loves the backrest the PO added (Triumph part).
I think it ruins the looks...but it gives me a place to strap on a can of fix a flat and so on...

The trans ratios are a bit wacky, 1st is on the tall side, then the gears are close.
5th should be a bit more of an overdrive for me, but the bike sure is fun to do sudden bursts of accleration for lane changes.

200 rpm is not much, but I better try the 18 tooth one first.

Thanks for the info!

Brett
