40 isnt really that great, get playing with rollers and you might hit 50.

Any ideas what weight rollers I would need? I know you have to play with it to dial it in. I am just looking for a place to start. BTW I am 6'3" tall and weigh over #300 pounds. When I hit 40 I was so happy I almost * myself. Ill have to call VT for parts. I'll probably get one of those big roller sets with lots of different sizes. Are they open on Saturday?

Why 9.8s?

I talked to the guy At VT Cycles he suggested 10-1 gears. He said with 9-1 I would lose alot of take off speed. They were out of 10-1 gears and 9.8 to 1 was the closest they had right now. So that is what I bought.

you would think you would lose a lot of bottom end with 9.1, but you really don't. Stock, its just geared way way too low. I didn't really didn't even lose any bottom end with 8.4's. The rpms were way different, but i really didn't lose any speed, and i had better power i from 25-35. 9.1 would be about perfect on a stock bike. as far as acceleration and top speed.
