I was using mine as a example. One thing though. If I went back to stock I'd be burning up my back tire faster than I am now. I have to buy one every 4-6 months.

Well tire shreader Steve-oh aside (and gawd knows we all have a wee bit of that in us or this would be a forum for Prius not Kawi! :laugh: ).
I did buy stock sprockets and planned to use them mostly becuz i want to have all things important in stock fashion at least initially so i have a textbook/manual comparison.
Besides, there is that lil 1000 waiting patiently in the wings here, so highway cruising may be deligated to it for when ZukiDave says there's a happy hour in Austin that i shouldn't miss!

I just got back from a little ride and pacing with traffic in a 55 mph zone I was right at 5,000 rpm's
with 16-42 gearing and a 140/60/18 rear tire.

Jeff there's a happy hour at the Zukiworks race shop today :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'm missing all the fun.
