Where to find a rear sprocket........

Okay, so for those of you who dont remember, Im a big guy. 300lbs of big, and I have been wheelie-ing the shiz out of my 99 600F4. I can get it to balance just fine now in first and shift to second and ride them for about a mile right now. The problem is, all of my weight makes it a bizznitch to clutch it up. Since I learned to wheelie about 3 months ago, I have gone through 2 clutches and the third is now begining to slip. I am -2 up front and stock rear on my gearing right now. I was told that taking my 45 rear up to a 53 would make it possible to power up my wheelies. Now I KNOW that a lot of you hate power wheelies and I admit that clutching is WAAAAAYYY easyer and more predictable, but, clutches and mechanics fees are gettin pricy on me. If nothing else, maybe it will clutch up easier with the larger rear. But I dont know where to get one. My dealer checked in all of the gear books and says that they dont make a 53 for the F4 but I have heard some of you on here who claim to have them. Help a Hawaiian out!

Talking

personally i would put your front stock and put a 6 up in the rear
lowering your front sprocket puts alot more stress on the trans end of things.........had a few buddies blow out some gears
i got a 2000 f4 for my ol lady which she never rides.....anyway
its only 2 up in rear and it will roll up stand up all day....i think the last time i rode it i was dumping second about 6000 for sit downs

just my

Does anyone have a stainless rear sprocket on their f4i? It looks as if sprocket specialists only sell aluminum rear sprockets on their website.
