Hey over 200, is that 36 a 530? How much if so?

Yes it's a 530 36t
How much for the whole pie...2..3..4..5?

Just curious what gearing combo you are looking for...36T/?  What will you use on the front and what speed are you trying to obtain?

^^ Not sure who you are asking.  For me, I'm just looking for a lower rev at highway speeds.  My intent isn't to find a top speed.

And, 18/36.  The 18 is easy to find.  But no luck so far with the 36 (steel).  I may have to settle with aluminum.

Yikes...seems like an awfully tall gear set.  According to the gearing chart, you'll be able to do 90 in first gear at 10,800 rpm.  I know you're talking about lower revs, but you might not ever get that thing in 6th gear with that gear set.

What do you have on there now?  You might want to try a 18/39 or 18/38.

Interesting observation.  You might be right on that.  Right now I'm at stock (17/40).

I want the revs to be lower, but I still want my 6th gear!  Maybe I'll end up trying out the 38 first- thanks for the advice.  Hopefully I will be able to get back on the bike this evening and can play with the rpm's a little to see exactly where I'd like to be.  According to GearCommander, I would be where I want to be with stock gearing.  But it doesn't appear to be accurate.  Where did you check your gearing #'s?

Do a search for "Busa Gearing Chart", there is a spreadsheet out there that is already populated with the Busa gear ratios and you can just plug in your gear combo.

When I was running mine on the street, I went with 18T/40T and it made all the difference in the world.  I think it would be about the same if you go 17/38.  Trust me,  18/36 is going to be way too tall for your purpose.
