  14 gram is better for take off,  15 gram better for lower RPM at speed,  I use 15 gram and like it,.

14GR seems to work the best at keeping the bike in the peak torque range. As mentioned the 15GR will lower rpm and make a slightly better cruiser. I doubt they would change much for top speed at WOT on a flat road.

That being said the 14GR is the more popular option but I will admit it would be nice for a lower cruising RPM. If you are a heavier rider, and/or like riding 2 up, then the 14's are a no brainer.

Is that for the 200 or 300, I have the 200 and it's so difficult to find info in it, most are for the 300. Pretty sure all the parts for the 200 and 300 are the same but I am not sure about the belt and rollers.

I chose the Dr. pulley 20/12 14 gram sliders after must thought and reading. I have the Leah7 2011 Downtown. Amazing off the line and mid speed with these lost about 4-5 mph off the top end...but who needs to go 90+...high 80's is fine.

I wouldn't consider 15 based on using these.

With the 14GR I have been slightly north of 90 MPH indicated. I am not sure the 15GR would yield more without more power from the motor. I do not try it often as I am not willing to see the cops face while writing out a ticket to a scooter that did over 90. :)
