gearing change

put a new chain and sprokets on today. went with a 15/41 gear ratio. the change is simply crazy. the bike wants to live on one wheel. i didn't even push things at all.

i can't imagine what the 15/43 gear ratio a lot of you guys use must feel like.

I got mine with 15/43 so I don't know what any other gearing is like on the Hawk but @250lbs and laying on the tank the front tire likes to raise at about 5k in both first and second gear.
