Is 18-43 the stock sprocket size for all CB's?.I ask because my bike runs 5,ooo rpm at 70 mph and it seems too high for me.Mine are 18-48 and i thought that was stock for my '76 ss.My bike ended up with 109 links.I think the high engine speeds are costing me fuel mileage because if I cruise the highways or just absolutely flog it on the back roads i get the same mpg regardless.
