What I am wondering is this.....

If I can adjust by the 5% difference in tire size I think this is what I come up with for final drive numbers.....

3.45 x 0.79 x .95 (5% reduction from 100%) = 2.59

and

3.27 x 0.79 x .95 = 2.45

Interestingly enough, the stock 3.27 and the tire size adjusted 3.45 final drives are nearly the same. And the tire size adjusted 3.27 final drive is slightly taller than the "Bonneville ready" final drive from the original post.

What these numbers mean I don't know. Can anyone shed some light for me?
