Is it possible to use the 18/38 combination on a 04 Vulcan 800A? Or will this cause to much bogging at the lower speeds?

I have 17/38 and i think its perfect... 18/38 i think will be too much overkill, if you are going to take route 80 from one side of the country to the other thats one thing, but for tooling around, i like 17/38

I finally got the 514-18 front sprocket from Sprocket Specialist after 3 months on back order & run around calls.

Anyhow, the 18/38 is pretty awesome on open slab cruising. I didn't feel much low end loss. (but it's there)

You should have posted up that you wanted these. I sold one set, front/rear for about what the rear cost. Still have one set.

there is no BEST its all about what you want... do you want to cruise and fel no vibes.. thats one combo... do you want to be able to wheelie in 4th, well thats a different combo

Thank you Mercury... I am new to the Kaw kz, coming from a V45 magna, and after a V65. I suppose that I get your drift re. cruising or wheeling

I suppose what I am after is more of the original performance (not much mods) but a bit less vibration than the 33t
Thanks for your comment.

i am not familiar with that bike... but i am pretty sure you can figure out your RPMS at a speed knowing where you are now and what teeth combo you have...

i dont know though for sure
