It was a happy day when I put an 18 tooth primary sprocket on my 05 America, a very happy day indeed. It was, curiously enough, the same day I installed the freak on her.

Incidentally, my bike used to lug a little bit when starting up a hill from a stop, especially if I didn't really roll on the throttle. However, even with the larger sprocket, the freak fixed that problem - and I haven't even knocked out any baffles, or as I intend, the reducer yet.
