FOLLOWUP
Did the swap from stock 32t to 31t drive pulley,took approx 45 mins to do,1st time at it,notbad at all to do but 1/2" driev elec impact gun really helped get nut of contershaft sprocket,thats for sure.
To be safe i also used some loctite on the sproket nut too along with staking it on the 2 indented spots on the contershaft it self too as called out to do in the
Yami shop manual too,don't what that thning comming off while crusng at 70mph/LOL!!!!!.
So far so good,agve me just the relief i was lookng for enabling me to get the bike into 5th gear at 4-5 mph lower speed when crusing 2 up .
Thats because a lot of the speeds i am at cwhile riming in my area 2up at at a speed/
rpm in 4th hear thyats it was really time to shift but when i would hit 5th that has the largest step /most rpm dropps it would leave the motor lugging esp when riding 2 up.
But not at that same road speed with 2 up the what seems small approx 150rpm or so inc in rpm at that same spped helped and i now dont have to always be shfiting from 4th to 5th then back to 4th again back and forth when the traffic would speed up a frew mph then slow down a few mph then pick back up again,was a real pia.
Also took the bike out on the parkway/open raod and the fastest i need to cruise there is 70mph and it's just fine there being a little happer there too vs 31t sprocket esp with a few additonal rpm to hit the steep/long hills at with 2 up and not have to get into the gas quite as hard.
You would not think that 1 tooh would help that much but it actually ,well at least in my case it did.
The bike also feel's a little spunkier comming off the line and going thru the gears too.
Lasly,had my wife clock me with her 3 yr old car with 27k miles on it that seems to have an accurate speedo so when shee was doing 60mph my bikes speed reads exactly 65mph so it nkow reads 5mph faster then my actual speed. That seemd to stay constant at lower speeds too still being 5mph over actual road speed @ 40 & 50mph too.
But if that bothers me much in the future i will just install a speedo healer and be done with it which is what i bet i will end up doing so i won't have to think about it. Guess i'm getting lazy in my old age,i want all my concentraiion on keeping the big Roadie upright and the cager's away from me esp with the wifie pooh on the back ,thats for sure.
