should be plenty of sprocket sources. just have to check to see what tooth count you have on the front and rear now. then get fewer teeth in the rear and/or more teeth up front.

I wouldnt do a front sprocket as that will affect you starting out in first gear. I think that you may go throught a cluth.
I would go maybe -3 maybe -4 in the rear that should give you a lower rpm and better mpg on the highway -3 im sure you would be good with the same chain size

my rule to ratios:

1 down on the drive (front) sprocket = 3 up on the driven (rear) sprocket

this is the equivalent, and works in both directions..

driven performance is a great company tha i'll be a supplier of shortly wit any luck.. them, and a few others are quite reputable.. i've heard both good and bad about vortex.. not sure what to tell ya there...

and happy upcoming birfday!!!!

some sources like kneedraggers.com are helpful. you should be able to get a 520 chainconversion (one front sprocket, one rear sprocket and a new rollerchain)

shouldn't have any trouble getting +1 in the front and -3 rear.
