So do the 05 Speedmasters have the 16 tooth sprocket? I thought I'd heard they went to 17 tooth, but I don't know if that's true



far as i know it's still 16. And the manual says it's 16 for the 865 speedmaster, and as you know anything pre 05' is a 790.

Also from what i understand, the internal gearing is different so that even tho the front sprocket is smaller than the bonnie for example, the overall gearing is actually higher. This would explain why bonnie owners report higher revs at a given speed than speedy owners even tho the bonnie has a larger front sprocket. not sure why they do it this way but i suspect it has to do with torque.
