800 front sproket change 17t to 18t - Page 3

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.

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
