I have two sprockets, one is 50T and the other is a 38T. Which would be best?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Stock is the 50t but i'll let someone more knowledgeable discuss the 38t. However, I think it would be too small to do much good?
With that said, what year is your bike?

I wouldn't go that much smaller than stock on a 550, you'll be struggling with that high gear ratio.... I went 12% over stock on a 750 & really noticed it.
I have ridden a 550 plenty of times & I think going that much higher would make it a real dog.

I see by your signature I have the same bike as well, 1981 GS550T
Nice, got pictures? You might want to put your bike type in your signature as well to help others answer some of your questions. Keeps everyone from asking you in a hundred different threads.
