I'd like to install a 14t sprocket on my M1100

I think I'm more jealous of your proximity to Sears Point.
But the wheels are HOT.
Where the hell is my American Express?

So just out of curiosity, where did you buy your wheels?

[hypurone]

in the US you have only one choice, Motowheels! Others have obtained from a South African co, no idea on the name.

Bellisimoto also carries them or is about to.
Enjoy Sears Point. Damn it!
Those wheels are liked a damned itch!!!

Thanks for your input.

Even on my s4r it's touching the rubber guard,nothing really i can do about it except keep an eye on it.

Ummm, not true. You can change the sprocket combination & chain(might not have to depending on if you run a shorter chain than stock) like I did to gain plenty of clearance and room to adjust the chain.

A 15/46 will give the same ratio as a 14/43 (stock on an RS), this will require that you move the wheel to its farthest forward point, which gives you all the room you need!!

I am actually kinda bored with Sears (being I have ridden so much), but I hear ya!

Yeah, like I said, it took me 9 years to scratch that ITCH!!  and you WILL scratch it

I think in the quote above you meant a 14/46 will be same as 15/43. Correct?

I'm gonna show my ignorance here...
I believe I now have 14/39 gearing (replaced 15t in front w/ 14t and still have stock 39t on rear).
If I were to increase the size of the rear, wouldn't that be like going back to the factory gearing?
Obviously I find this gearing stuff confusing. 

As for the gearing, I am far more interested in smooth, quick acceleration & handling than I am in top speed. I live in Hawaii. I'm never going to get that bike to top speed.

Whoops, typo. Fixed it. Should have read: a 15/46 (3.066) is the same ratio as a 14/43 (3.071)... See what happens when you get me talking about carbon wheels!
