5.5k rpms at 55-60 isn't screaming....if you were doing 55 with it at 10k rpms then i'd say it's screaming. you are only 1 down 7 up. you won't loose much speed off that. i'm 1 down 10 up and rev limiter 6th gear on my 929 is still 146. your speedo says 86 and you are probably doing like 70. 88mph on my bike is 70 mph actual (1 down 10 up). and no, bike type doesn't matter, gear ratio does.
and sweet huge *** sprocket.
but why not put some rivet links in there if you are going to have so many?and original topic: 130 tooth should be plenty.

I now think I want to get a 71 or 74 tooth sprocket for my f2. How does it feel for those that have em. can your clutch up like 3rd and 4th. what does your top end feel like.

I think that I ended up using something like 122 or 124 links (not quite sure since my chain was spliced so many times due to excessive gear changes....the bitch has 4 master links :YEAH ). My axel is toward the front of the adjuster area so I have some room to throw my -2 back on if I ever wanted to for ***** and jiggles.
