I would like to change the front and rear sprockets to a 17/34 or 17/35 set up for lower highway rpm since I do a bit of highway driving. 1.) Does anyone see any immediate issues with this? 2.) I can't find a 34T rear, but I can find a 17/35 setup from an '82 400 Maxim. Will this fit? The bolt pattern is the same but I haven't looked up the chain size from the Maxim. Thanks!

Maybe you can switch front and rear sprocket together if necessary, to keep chain the right size.
I don't know for sure, just a thought.

if you go to the website that makes them, they will list off the gears they make for each model.(I don't remember, but I remember using ebay to get the link to the manufacture, (I am sure a quick search will find the same info.)

I put a 17 tooth on mine and it made a big difference. Now the bikes runs smoother and vibrations are barely felt. For now, I dont think that I need to change the rear sprocket.
