Got home around 3:30 this morning from Arkansas and places beyond.  The sprocket is a god-send on freeways and turnpikes. I completed the run mentioned below while attending the Blues Bikes and Barbecue rally in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  New tires on the bike but am having a front wheel laced for Wide White Sidewall tires on my next replacement.

My bike has become this black hole that sucks up all my money. *chuckle*

2nd tank turned in a 47.2 mpg run...still with a combination of city and highway riding.  The front fender is repaired and re-installed and all is right in the world. *chuckle*

Added Kuryakyn ISO off-set freeway foot-rests  and a custom handlebar-mount for my HTC Thunderbolt Smartphone which, when combined with the stereo Bluetooth headset I ride with and the external 12-volt power supply, allows me to listen to my music while I ride and follow the GPS navigation...or answer a phone call (*grin*)

The sprocket completely changes the feel of the bike on trips and alters my shift-pattern to be more inline with a HD Softail 88.  At 70mph, my engine is relaxed and purring like a kitten.  I should have changed it to 38-tooth years ago.  I got a solid 48 mpg on the first tank - with a combination of freeway and city driving - and will know what my 2nd is by this afternoon.

I broke my front fender at their mounting points and have had it off for the past 3 days laying in epoxy-over-fiberglass mesh in my effort to repair it.

Thanks for the friend invite!

I installed a battery tender earlier this year.  I mention that because of other attachments that plug into the battery tender plug...one of which is a 12-volt socket I got at Auto-Zone for around $4.  Another is the small portable air-compressor/flat repair kit I carry in my saddlebags.  Using the battery tender plug means I don't have to have a whole bunch of stuff added to my battery terminals and simplifies things greatly.

The videos posted are taken with a Sony using a Ram-Mount handlebar mounting system but I think I'm going to upgrade to a helmet-cam. I took my bike off the lift yesterday evening and hope to finish cleaning it up today..

You're gonna like it!  I've had mine up on the lift installing Kuryakin off-set ISO freeway pegs and getting her cleaned up.  I'm also going to install a 12-volt power plug as well as a handlebar RAM-mount for my GPS.  The 38-tooth sprocket is without doubt the best thing I've done to it so far though, and when I get her down off the lift I plan on taking her out to stretch her legs. The bike runs at such a more relaxed rpm that I can't help but think that it will add miles to the life of the engine.  I should have done this years ago!

PK, the change to the 38-tooth rear sprocket and 120-link chain is amazing!  The power-plant and drive-train feel much more relaxed at all speeds.  At freeway speeds of around 70 mph (5th gear) I can hear my engine at a more relaxed and slower rpm.  4th gear is completely useable to freeway and turnpike speeds, with 5th becoming more of an "over-drive."  In fact, when the new chain comes up for replacement, I may consider going to an 18-tooth sprocket on the front.

I am on of these guys that keep a pretty close watch on my fuel mileage so I'll run a couple of tanks through it and let you know how the mileage does.
