I have a 1988 883 sportster with a 1200 conversion.I need to replace my rear sprocket right now its a 48T and the front is a 21T now this is stock right? I get high RPMS at 60 and 70MPH some say put a 22T on with a 48T which will give me a 2.18 ratio now I have a 2.28 ratio I was wondering if I could use a 47T at the rear which with give me a 2.23 ratio which will reduce my RPMS some. I dont want to lose my off the line power I like to jackrabbit around town not on the highway much but when I am it screams at me. is this just a normal sportster operation and will it hurt my bike? should I just stick with the stock setup?
thanks
