I run 9.1s on many bikes. They are good up to about 60mph. They will go 63-65mph with a high revving setup. Its all in what kind of riding you are going to do.

If you want to cruise at 55mph then the 9.1s probably are too short.

But If you want to rip around town blasting wheelies and occasionally hitting 60mph then I would say run the 9.1

Thanks, maybe I should try some 7.97 or 8.4's per wheelman's suggestion. But I will try a set of 9-1's to see how they feel first. Maybe the acceleration will be worth the few mph up top.

8.44s are the best of both worlds, you can still blast up to 70 if you want and a lot more low end power. 8.44s are my favorite ratio.

Ha, that figures that I would buy 3 of the 9-1's then... Thanks Lovemyhonda. I will learn one of these days.

Are you running the front Met rim as well? Is that what i'm seeing here? I'm currently building an elite now, and sourcing front and rear met wheels.
