I was going to drop a tooth up front but didn't want the brain damage of trying to get that sprocket off. I went up 3 in the rear with the AFAM quick change.
She's a terror now.

About a week into it, I lost the front end...didn't go down but it got my attention.
Anymore, my m/c riding is running errands, like Costco runs, banking, & such.
I turned my 1100 into a "Googer" bike for hauling chores, etc. Don't laugh.
I get a lot of use out of it.
Now not just a one-dimensional motard.
Recently, I hauled six 1 gal. cans of Latex.

PS The new Hyper has the 821cc water-cooled Testastretta 11 engine - nothing moves me about that except the 18,500 miles between service intervals.
I'm a torque fiend and the new rig has 10 less ft. lbs.
I'm keeping mine, too.
Ride sanely, knucklehead.
