-1 up front
+2 in the back,
rear sprocket sold by vortex, and the front I can not remember. Great torque, but your top end it taken down to about 125. Fast enough, and pulls great.

Maybe a dumb question but can you do this with the same amount of chain links as stock?

Have your personally tried to hit 125 ? Because if that's the top speed of -1 +2. Then I think I'll be considering an upgrade.

AFAM makes the sprocket and you have to pick up a speedo DRD or speedo healer to fix the speedo. I got my stuff from Sprocket Center for a good price.

Also, how much of a jump is it in your gear redlines? Right now , I redline first at 70mph, that's not kicked down to 45/50 is it? Anyone have some rough redlines that have the sprocket change?
I've been thinking about this change after seeing people talking about it giving you more acceleration a while ago, but always forget to ask the 411 on it. Someone make a grand master post full of juicy info please

I dont pay attention to it in 1st or 2nd redline. But top speed is somewhere around 125. Have my speedo calibrated as closeto my gps as possible, and have ran it out a few imes and each time i glance down its right around 125.

I am currently down one in the front and it makes a bit of a difference. It's not like jumping to an R1 but it does make a good enough difference. I am going 1 up in back when I find a 47t. Right now with -1 front, My speedo shows 150mph at 11,000 rpms. So I figure 1 up in back will drop that to around 140. I don't have a speedo healer so I'm probably only going around 130 ish.

Awesome, thanks! So just a couple of mph per gear. I suppose we max about 140-145 stock so going down 15 wouldn't be that bad for a ton more acceleration which I use 10000x more. Not like I go over 125 that often but I do love to crouch down and floor 6th gear to the red on big open downhill highway bursts lol. Makes me feel like superman!
