Gearing the **** out of a 99 zx-7r...

I'm just wondering how many i should go up in the rear? I'm thinking about running a 520 chain w/ a 16 tooth front and have a massive rear sprocket...

Right now i'm at -1, +2... and I can't rock really slow **** with that (since this thing has the heaviest front end ever)...

So i'm wondering how many teeth up would be reasonable to pull off slower stuff? I'd still like to retain a top speed of like 90-100mph...

Thanks in advance,

Dan

i just went to a 66 rear and i liked it at first, but i think im going down lower forawhile because i hate how slow i have to be going to set it on the idle, it's nice for everything else. ill probably go back to it in the future, but a big sprocket isn't really gonna help you slow down too much, if your at the point of stalling the bike all the time , then it might be time but until then just keep slowin them down
