Better get a speedohealer if you gear 16/43 top end is limited much more.
186mph minus 16% is 156mph top speed.

I have a speedo healer for my 16/43......and that is why the gear indicator does not work properly(good thing I have it locked in N anyway). I've set mine to factory error because I want the ODO to be correct - can't have both.

I'm running the 16/43 but think I am going to change it. The bike is so frigging fast with that gearing that I am riding it like a squid. I will either have to slow it down or maybe buy a slower bike, like a Hayabusa.

I love my 16/43............and even w/ the turbo it is ok - smoke on demand.........
I also hate to slip the clutch so gearing helps me not have to.

Today I changed back to the stock 41 tooth rear sprocket to keep from killing myself. Cant say I like it better but its safer to ride at full throttle. Also installed the sport touring screen I purchased from another member (Bawls...thank you sir). It really makes a big difference in the amount of air coming at me. Great for winter riding here. At first I didnt think it made much difference but soon realized I was riding 30 MPH faster than normal due to the lack of airblast. At 60 MPH there is literally no air on me except a little on the helmet and the outside of my arms...amazing !!! Only 46 here today but tomorrow is going to be in the sixties and I am going to put on some miles.

Yes, it will reduce you top speed because the speedo already reads a little high. You can always grind of one side of the countershaft nut as I did. The speedometer definitely reads lower with this (free) mod.
