350x8 gearing

Am in the process of getting my 150 super back on the road and would like to fit a 200 engine with the 8 inch hub to keep the standard look of the bike. Was wondering has anyone here done it and what gearing change is required? Maybe such an undergeared 200 would be fun?

Hey, I used to ride around on my VNB with a P200 motor with stock gearing but I used 4x8 tires with ended up being only slightly smaller in circumference than at 3.5x10. The slightly shorter gear made it super fun around town even two up.

That's a clever solution to the gearing issue, I never thought of 4x8 tyres. Thanks Tim for the help!
