42 tooth rear sprocket

earl, smart choice on the gear selection.
if you go to the track let me know how many rpm's your running when you go through the traps in 4th gear?

I made a very good change last weekend. I put a 42 tooth rear sprocket on the bus. I am amazed at the difference!!! More acceleration everywhere and no loss in driveability. I think this is the best single change we can make to the bus. I bought a new ek chain ($170!!) but after I cut it to fit, I found I wound up with the same 112 links as in the stock. The wheel is a little closer to the front, but 114 put the wheel to far back for good adjustment. So bottom line---the stock chain will work with this setup.
