'79 CB750F Super Sport
hello old friends --
my modified '79 CB750F S/S has the stock final-drive setup: 15T front sprocket and 38T rear, with a 90 link 630 pitch chain
so the bike runs great, but I wish it was geared a bit taller -- at 4000 RPM I’m doing 52 MPH in 5th gear, and I certainly would like it to reduce the RPM level for a more relaxing cruising; I just use the bike very occasionally for a quick run to the coffee shop with couple of my biker friends, and do not want -or need- all the currently available acceleration or high RPM levels
so I have decided to alter my setup to a 17T and keep the rear 38T ... BUT I would like to change the whole setup into a 530 pitch size, since this would mean a lighter and bit smaller
- is this possible ?
- has anyone done this ?
- does anyone know who would sell such matching complete set ? ( front sprocket, / chain / rear sprocket )
thank you as always for the input, comments or suggestions
