| Something can't be right. One of the things I noticed with mine is that the engine braking is every bit as good, if not a little better than stock. Watch the video and make sure you got your weights in right. James will fix you up, don't get discouraged. | |

| Those are some real heavy tires, but I don't want to believe they would kill you that bad. I would think that it should hit the upper 40s pretty good.
You hitting the rev limiter at 43-45? | |

| I know with 18g and gold spring with 28's radials I was at 48 without CDI.
Switched to 16g and dropped to 44mph. I'm still learning but to me it seems like the tires hold you back alot.
I have 29.5 terminators with cam, msd and 16g and can only get 43 mph on a long stretch. Toss some smaller tires on it and see what you get. | |

| I have to agree on the tire size, I can hit 50 mph on 25in tires with the Jbs sheave and 18 gram Od sliders, But when I put on my 27in MST Outlaws it drops to 44-45 mph. There is just too much weight in the bigger tires. my 2 cents. | |

| How are you measuring your speed? A taller tire will cause the speedo to read slower. | |

| I know in real world situations it will be off with the increase in tire size. Did anyone GPS to compaire? Would be a good write up | |

| Before my JBS I had CDI, gold spring and yamaha 14gram weights and could run 51mph with 26" big horns on 14" wheels and lots of other accessories like a front rack that weights 70lbs and a winch. Now after the JBS sheave and 18gram OD weights and gold spring I have been up to 57mph. All GPS and my dash actually reads the same as GPS most of the time with 1mph +- on occasion. | |
