If that is the bike and you want to ride on the street you may want to get a different swing arm and set up.

What size chain are you running? You might want to tell the guy building the sprocket what you're trying to do-to keep from accidentally going the wrong direction and gearing the bike even lower.

True ....if your keeping the 46T rear the 15t front will lower it more ..... you would need a 18T front to lower the rpms (again if keeping the 46T rear)....... and a long low and mean drag racer on the street looks like it might be fun but like Steve says watch the curves.
