Default 520 Conversion Help

What's up fellas, i'm looking to do a 520 +1/ -1 (maybe -2) with a black chain, black sprocket, and a speado healer. I'm trying to see if anyone has the 08 with this done. How is the gearing? I do a lot of riding (8000+ miles since I bought it brand new April, 08.) so i don't want it to rev too high while doing the daily riding, but I do wheelie and run it down the 1/4. I was also wondering if any venders had any specials going on or if anyone knows a good website where I can pick this set up at??? I saw a vender on here had a special a while ago and I PMed them and never heard anything back so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't have an 08, but here is a link to www.hardracing.com and I think they have good prices.

+1/-1 would kill you drag strip times. Unless you mean -1 front/+2 rear lol.

If thats the case it will take from the top speed, but wtf cares about that anyhow. Daily street riding you will have alot more power down low. Highway riding you maybe revving higher than you like but it should still be around 6-7krpm at roughly 80mph

I did mean -1 +2, lol thanks. I think i'm going to go -1 +1, should be a happy medium. Thanks CWMC29 for the link, i emailed those guys and i'm ordering the kit from them. They don't have a black chain but the gold will look good too.

wat ^ said, -1 up 2 is a good setup, look at the renthal kits im running that on my 06 an it jus adds enough without takin much off the topend or revving out, should only set ur speedo off 10 mph aswell. RK kits suck dnt waste the money, driven are ok kits too. ebay it up bro for best prices usually
