16 front 45 rear sprockets

[jermo47_imp]

When i was on gearcommander earlier it looked like 17/45 was nearly the same as 16/43. since it looks like going with a 45 on the back may pose issues, dropping 2 on the front and adding 3 on the back might just get me where i want to be. The cbr1000rr come stock with a 16/42 setup on a 530 chain like ours so I dont think dropping 2 would be too much of an issue, and worst case i wont be able to get the ferrets 20k+ miles out of a chain. Front sprockets are pretty inexpensive though so if im not super happy with the 16 front i can slam a 17 on it and end up at 17/43.
