    I've got the FCR39 and 15/46 gearing. I like.

    Stapled on the Procycle seat cover, MAJOR improvement in comfort, was fairly straightforward job.
    Quite a surprising weight penalty over the stocker though...

    Testing the lights later...

    I couldn't imagine 15/46. I've got the FCR39 and running 15/43. With 46 I reckon I wouldn't be able to keep the front wheel on the ground.

    In saying that I do have a 14 tooth front I've been tempted to fit for a bit of fun.

    I'm still on the standard gearing whatever that is. Would like lower first for river/creek crossings and obstacles but that's about it...

    So I have a few spare bits now, are they worth selling or should I keep as spares.

    Fairly mint original CV carb, original Suzuki throttle cables, original seat foam and cover came off cleanly. All only done a mere 14500km of work.
    Then there's the original tank and exhaust pipe but they don't seem to go for much so prob keep so can sell as original spec when time comes and sell extras separately.

    14/46 is too low for anything bar closed course off road racing.
    You can still cruise at 100-110kph at 15/46=14/43

    15/43 is approx. 4,100 RPM at 100KPH. I normally run this unless doing a lot of shingle/tracks then fit a 14T. then its approx. 4,400 RPM.

    My Bike came with a Tacho when I brought it and Ive since replaced it with a Trail Tech Vapor unit, Both show the same readings as per my post. The Vapor speedo has been calibrated against a radar in a Cop car. (Took 4 drive byes at 100 KPH to get it right) So I will go by what my instruments are telling me.

    Wouldn't that double the value of most DR's?
