I bought a pair of sprockets from ebay, called wheelie sprocket kit.

they raise the rear a couple teeth and drop the front ONE or maybe 2
at the most. 1st and 2nd gear are excelent for wheelies, but this
also makes 1st gear hard to do a real hard launch because you will be
reaching for the sky and touching the stars if you launch at raised
rpms. I am extrememly happy with this setup and will not be going in
the opposite direction unless I turbo the damn thing.

Anyway, read the sales pitch on these sprockets about
"weighing 190+lbs" I don't understand the physics of it, but it is the
way this guys says it is. With stock sprockets in top gear, it took me
forever to get up to or over 125MPH. After the sprocket change I hit
140 and 150 on the same stretch of highway with no problem. I have
not gone over 150 and don't want to.
By the way, you were wondering....I weigh 275lbs.

I have to shift unto 6th gear and the bike still has great
acceleration.  I'm very happy I did
