I found myself looking for another gear once, only once mind.

I will have to get used to the fact that the speedo is now wrong.
Fitting one of Christian's Multi Guages would eliminate both of these as it has a speedo calibration facility as well as gear indicator.

Just to put my two bobs worth in. I have a 15T front and standard rear, the chain is still okay at 16k miles. The bike is fully Ivanised, I ride it hard and I get 44mpg on a hard early morning 70mile run to work  :lol . I changed the front sprocket early on in my ownership of the bike and would'nt now fit anything else. I love the improved acceleration and don't miss the top end speed at all which is the only sacrifice.

Shiney side up is best
