(The Monster 1200 has over 100lbs on my bike)

Over 100 lbs, that's no good. I saw one recently and it also has a heavy cruiser looking style. Too bloody cruiser like if you ask me.

Just be aware that the 14 tooth front sprocket will eat your chain quickly.

While the bike shop where I purchased my 14t sprocket was happy to sell it, they also acknowledged that premature chain failure is a common result when I came back in and ordered a 16/44 setup. Kind of expensive, but I shouldn't have to buy another chain for a looooong time!

I'm curious to know how long you expect a chain to last.  I put about 12,000 miles on my first chain and only changed it because it had developed a couple tight spots due to me not cleaning/lubing it enough and the first mod I did on my bike was the 14T front sprocket.

This thread makes me feel better about going with a built 944 motor for my build. Although I have a feeling I'll be green with envy once Dub Luv finally finishes his FCR41>1000DS build.
