Anyone have a stock S2 front pulley they might be willing to part with, for a reasonable price?

Think that is 27 teeth.

The stock front sprocket on the 95-96 S2 is 29 teeth. I prefer the 27 over the 29 myself. With all the work that's been done to my engine the 27 keeps me at the bottom of my power curve going down the highway.

Here’s another vote for the 27. Makes my S2 so much easier and fun to ride on the two lane skinny roads.
If I ever need to ride the interstates and cruise at 80mph, I’d stick the 29 back on.

Thanks for the info.

What kind of rpm does it make at highway speed say 60 or 70mph, with the 27 tooth?

My S2 has a thunderstorm motor from a 98 S3T, and it came with a 29 tooth front drive pulley. I found myself constantly needing 1/2 a gear between due to the 29 tooth ratio. Swapped for 27, now I'm much happier!
