A10 gearing/sprocket set up

[Drew Back]

What would be an ideal sprocket set up for a 1958 rocket it seems like it struggles at 55mph feels like it needs to go into 5th gear which I dont have I just want to cruise in comfort at 60mph anybody experience the same problem??

My '55 GF seems too short legged; I also feel like I need a fifth gear.

Hi,
Yes quite a few A10's I have ridden are short geared
Do you know what sprockets are fitted to your bike now?
After some changing about  I now run a 23 tooth engine sprocket, clutch 43, gearbox 19 and rear wheel 42 on the Super Rocket
70 mph = 4000rpm near enough

I agree with John. It won't affect take off in 1st much and a lot easier than changing the g/box sprocket.
Cheers
