have a 78cb750f.  read somewhere that stock sprockets are 14/43.  wanted a little less buzz
at higher speeds so went to a 15t front, now the spocket cover won't go on ( :P ), but that's ok. 
no idea how you squeezed a 17t in there, sure an 18t will fit?

Yup, take the Caps Lock off. ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

What year is your bike?  77/78Fs absolutely have a 14/43 gearing setup factory. As well as a completely different chain.  (630 vs. 530)

We need to know what your front and rear gears are currently. As well as what your goal is.  Lower highway RPM?
