What gearing are you running? It seems tough to gear for open road plus trail.

14 x 44. It'll still do 75 without completely wringing it out and still have a fairly low first. That gearing has worked for everything but really tight, rocky single track. We're not getting into any of that, right?
F*** work.

Im running a 14 front and I think a DR650 stock size rear (or maybe 1-2 teeth extra?).
Seemed to be a good compramise for offroad while still being pretty highway capable.
I did that tough rocky A option at Michaux with said gearing, and 70+ on route 15 in the same day.

I run a 14-48 on the Honda and really like it for what ever that's worth....
I am working on finalizing the route and itinerary; hope to have something to share next week.
