Maybe just go a smaller rear sprocket?
Vortex rear sprockets on eBay from 38T upwards
Edit: driven have 16T front sprockets

I haven't found anyone who offers a 415 conversion yet if that's your thing.

So there are a few problems with swapping out the front sprocket:
- Going smaller, and you are going to rub on the swingarm
- Going larger end up rubbing through your front sprocket safety cover. Yes, it's only plastic (or Carbon Fiber if you buy the Tyga replacement) but most people who have tried running a larger front sprocket have run into problems here. There is also the problem of chain and sprocket wear.
I have run 14T, 15T, and 16T sprockets for the last 3 years of racing and I have not had any of those issues.
Agree with pretty much everything else you said. I personally would rather swap just the front sprocket than have to take the wheel off... but the reality is that I usually end up doing both front and rear to dial in the gearing I need.
Any updates in the front 14 tooth causing the chain to rub the swing arm? Thinking about playing with a front 14 tooth.
I was planning on running the stock rear 45 tooth. The rear travel depends on how hot the rear shock gets. Lol
What your suggestion for a 114 link chain if I buy a 48 tooth rear sprocket from you?
