T 41 Which Way is Wich

Which Way should sprocket face?

First image, the face that is up is the side that goes away from the wheel. The side against the concrete is the side that is against the spokes.

rule of thumb is to dish in for skinny tires, out for fat tires

Ok thanks.

Well got the sprocket on any which way but loose, tested it got 1.4 MPH Faster than the T 44 for 20 bucks plus shipping I don't think it was worth all the time and money I still half to remove another link. My Flying Horse has turned into the Flying Jackass, might ship it back still pissing oil out the head.
I went over carb needle adjustments 1 cleat at a time manage 2 more MPH.

seen folks spend hundreds on 'performance' parts and get less than 4mph extra out of it - these are crappy little motors that run great for what they are if you don't mess with them

And nobody forget how much hp they have, sooner or later you're squeezing 6 ounces of blood from a 4 ounce stone.

The real answer is to get a bigger stone.

I would imagine that it's a good thing to be reducing your cruising rpm a little, and your top speed runs will shake the bearings to death slightly less so might actually be a great upgrade. I am "sure" more speed gains for less money can be had by reducing the aerodynamic drag. Lower bars by flipping the stem or bars and stem, tighter clothing is a big one, front windshield, anything like that.

One of these suits should help you to get higher top speeds, not only are they aerodynamic but the one on the left is clearly faster because of the flame decals, a scientificticalalcaly proven concept to increase speed on hot rods.

To top it all off I'm chicken-s**t to go over 22MPH unless it's a long highway with hundred miles to do to prevent from falling asleep increase speed to 37 MPH then hang on crush the hand grips, just like to be ready for long haul.
