I wanted the cruising rpm's lower on my 2013, so I went up a tooth on the front and down two on the rear.
I ended up cruising at 3000rpm at 60 mph, and mileage went up about 10mpg.
It was great for the highway, but a bit tall for starting from a stop and not as peppy feeling. Also eliminated the jerkiness at part throttle, parking lot type riding.
Ended up going back to stock on the rear which feels like the Goldilocks solution for me.
Enjoy the ride!

Stock rear and +1 up front. Did you say you do in town riding? Or more hiway?

Probably 80-90% in town. SUBURBAN in town.... not in the CITY
