Default 05 vlx dlx 600 shadow

i need some ideas on how to bring the rpms down at 65 mph. its an old skool 4 speed design so not much can be done in my book. just wondering if anyone had some ideas? i love the bike too much to just ditch it over high rpms, but it really bothers me on the highway????

Call your local dealer.They will be able to get you a sprocket.if you want to drop the rpm's go a little smaller on the back sprocket.Or go a like 1 or 2 teeth bigger up front if they are real high on the R's on the highway go like 2 teeth up in front

ya thanks, the R's are pretty high for what i like. it sounds pretty revved out!. I wiil see what i can find for a 2 tooth smaller sprocked for the back. the front one would be a bitch to change.
