With that said, most of us are not running the taller gearing combinations on otherwise stock bikes.The original exhaust in particular really holds these things back, particularly in the middle and upper rpm range.

I've only got around 300 miles on it so far. Plan to just roll with the 16/45 combo for awhile and see how the bike holds up. This gearing should suit my intended purpose for the bike. It isn't exactly confidence inspiring at highway speeds anyway so I'll just leave well enough alone.
As for the exhaust I may delete the cat and rejet accordingly at some point, but I've reached an age where I really don't want to make it louder than it already is.
