Perhaps a sprocket change for lower revs?

The JT sprocket website only lists the stock front 18 tooth .. 19 tooth front sprocket is not available yet .. You can also go smaller than stock in the rear sprocket but it's not available either and it's more work and $$ switching out the rear ..

I have done this simple cheap mod on a couple of my previous bikes .. The revs are lower on top gear and feels relaxed on the freeway without a noticeable loss in torque/power .. I also felt that the engine breaking is softer and taller gearing allows for holding the gear longer in the 2,3,4 th gear twistes .. The mpg generally get slightly better too in my personal experience
I would be up for a change to a larger front sprocket when and if they become available.
