thats a 2.5:1 gear ratio.....
I don't think the internal gear box ratios are low enough
to pull that final drive gear ratio..

Might be a little tall but may work OK depending on how you ride. My preferred ratio on my 200 is 2.64 to 1.

I ran a 13/31 with a 120/80-18, roughly equivalent to a 13/33 with a 110/100-18 and a more or less exact match to the 17/43 combination used on 428 chain setups.

It works great, but definitely road gearing territory. Good for top end and more frequent highway use in the 55-65mph range if you happen to commute or find yourself on small highways.

If you want to match the venerable 17/45 combo with a 520 setup then you need a 13 front 35 rear. That is what I ended up going with on my Hawk.

Ok - I also just found your thread on the upgrades for the HAWK. Most of that will cross over for the BASHAN - STORM which I am using. However, I wanted to see as you mentioned in your youtube video that was what you bought for your new HAWK.

I am running a 428 set-up.

For my current set up I am running 17/47 and I will see how that goes for top speed. I also have a 42 rear, so that would be a 17/42. I will also see how that does. I am hoping that it will do at least 60-65mph. As long as it get at least 55mph I am happy as I plan to ride this on a longer ride at some point, like 3,000 mile trip.
