The first mod done by many people is replacing the front with a 15-tooth sprocket. If that doesn't drop your rpm's enough for you, you can try a 44-tooth or a 42-tooth rear.

There are a couple other options. The JT catalog lists a 16-tooth front. '''Don't Do It.''' It will cause clearance issues. It's better to step down in the rear than go any bigger than a 15 up front. You can use a 41 -tooth in the rear if you do lot of commuting and don't have to worry about going up hills. Several members on the board have a 15/41 combo, but they are shooting for gas mileage, plus they live in flat places like North Texas.
