At 16/46, the standard set up, you are at 2.875:1 At 15/48 you will be at 3.2:1
If you dropped the standard set up to 15/46 you would be at 3.06:1 and with this the bike flat comes alive across the board from low to high. You are correct in that you WILL need a speedohealer as it will be about 20mph off at speed. With the 15T mine was off 15mph happy at 70mph. At 3.2:1 that bike will scream and your fuel range will drop way off too....
