i agree with that, but why settle for a gp200 box when for a bit more cash you could buy the af close ratio box, will transform your ride, first gear is a longer gear, i have to use a little bit of revs and slip the clutch a little to get away,i am running a 21 front sprocket though, then the jump between 1 and 2 is small so it pulls well in 2nd, 3rd and 4th are the same as gp200 which is only a small jump,the ratios are spot on, even when your changing down, realy helps an engine thats peaky or a narrow powerband, but will work well in any set up, your overall top speed will be governed by your front sprocket choice, i would always use this type of box given an option.

oh dear, as mentioned a gp200 box is nearly as good, would be my second choice, you can alter it to close ratio when the parts are available by buying the cr cluster and first and second gear at a later date, thats what i did last time they were out of stock
