front pulley size?

[myfirstbuell]

Since I will be getting involved with the front pulley now that I have an XB rear, which would be most preferred? 29 tooth, 30 tooth, or 32 tooth. The 32 tooth would increase my MPG roughly 20%, but also cut down on acceleration in lower gears correct? I am unsure what the stock blast has, but I would venture to say a 30 tooth would be ideal for mixed riding. Both work and play on and off the highways. Plus the new pulley would accomodate the wider belt needed for the wider rear pulley. Your thoughts?

I have the stock 27T on mine with the xb wheels and a cr rear pulley. I want to go down to the 26T. Needs a little more acceleration.

Well, bought the 29 tooth sportster front pulley. I am aware that I will gain better mileage on the cruising aspect now with this 2 tooth larger front pulley. A slight sacrifice will have been met on acceleration off the line. But now in terms of the rear pulley, I have my options for a 65 tooth off xb9, 72 tooth, and 76 tooth off the cr. If I went with the 72 tooth, what would happen as far as performance? Very new to this as far as ratios and acceleration go.
