Thanks mate i've got it now anyway just waiting for some bits from vmod to complete the job. It turns out my bike was set up for Americian market so have split the difference and am going to fit a 29 tooth front sprocket combined with the 72 rear chrome 5 spoke so can't wait for the sun to come out. Thanks for the advice.
