I changed my 15 tooth countershaft sprocket to a 16. I actually picked up a new Sunstar on Ebay for .01 cent plus about $3.89 shipping. No one bid on it except me.
In my opinion it makes the bike the way it should be. Speedo is about 1 mph high at 80 compared to GPS, so its about perfect. Nice and smooth at 80-85 and more drivable in day to day commuting. For me its perfect for the way I ride. If you like to pull the front wheel off the ground then it may not be for you.
Remember 1 tooth change on the front has more effect that 1 tooth on the rear sprocket.

Well, I ordered my 16T front sprocket today, so I should be all set for spring (if it ever gets here...)

I dont think there are even 5 people on this forum that even tried this sometimes? To much front end weight and to less power to make it properly work, at least for non (stunt) experienced riders :)
