Sounds about right! You are going to need a sprocket, good luck. I have to go to work, have a good day.

You dont want more teeth in the rear. You want less to drop RPMs.
What is the red line on your bike? 4500@45mph does not sound terrible to me. |

Fewer teeth on the rear sprocket is what you are looking for. And/or more on the front. A practical limitation on the reduction of rear sprocket teeth is swingarm interference so keep an eye out for that too.

If I was going to do it again I would not go smaller than a 27 tooth. These guys should be able to help you find one, but I never could. Be sure to look at increasing the front sprocket, but it would be tight. One tooth there is quite an improvement and it wont require a chain shortening.
