Limits your gearing option is about the only downside I see... For the street though it doesn't matter... I was trying to get someone with a 9 to swap primaries with me though... It's an 11% change...

On the 12 11% increase in torque, decrease in top speed. So you'd max out just under 120, but you'd have like 90ftlbs at the rear wheel. I feared the wheelie-fest that was sure to follow.

I've thought about the 9 swap as well...but I dont have any issues with the torque right now.

And I pulled my first deliberate wheelie on Friday.

I can't help it. It begs me to break the law.

No, I said you were a dumbass... I am an asshole and you are a dumbass... There's a social heirarchy that you're missing... of course, that's because you're a dumbass...
