Gears... 15/41 Stock v.s. 18/38 mod

Would you go with the 42 or 43 setup ? I noticed you mentioned both, But I was unsure which one would give more desirable results.

EMGO muffler is there anything bad about it or you just like the stock muffler as I notice you didn't get an EMGO after you drilled your exhaust.

funds are somewhat limited but not too bad since it is a daily driver I have more money to upkeep it since I save so much money in fuel. about 70 a week savings so far but i am still only getting about 56 mpg.

I added 1Amp neons to the back of the bike and and they seem to draw little enough power that it doesn't over discharge the battery and I rid normally early morning and dusk (to and from work).

I have been interested in adding a small tach just so I know what is going on in there. any suggestions?

The front brakes had been acting weird and i figured out that the pad positioning pin is missing and a pad shim fell out as were the pads themselves.

I cleaned the brake line and reservoir with fresh brake fluid. and i have EBC fa106 pads. Waiting on the Pin and shim that I am missing to get it back out there on the road. the rear brake bar seems to be pointing at the air filter instead of that small area in the back that is supposed to be the gauge for when they need to be replaced. is there a way to know or readjust that to make the usage scale read right ?

it has Metzeler tires on it i am assuming from factory and I was wondering... when i look up the tire it says tubeless. but on spoke wheels i would think that they needed tube tires. can anyone shine some light on that ?

I have reclined the handlebars back and adjusted the brake fluid and mirrors back flush will that hurt anything ?

Is there a place to get highway pegs on the Cheap?

also I seem to recall a post on a gas gauge for the gz is that thing reliable ? and is there an easier step by step guide to make these ?

The front fender looks like it is warped and is not sitting even and aligned with the wheel can that just be adjusted by the 4 bolts that are on it ?
