I finally got around to doing my gear reduction and I am very happy with the results. I took it for a short test ride today and I have to say that the gearing is so much better for what I do. I shaved down the speed sensor and had perfect shifting on the first try.

Here are some pics:

Old gears and new. Top of pic is the new gears.

Measuring the gap between gear and vss sensor. Filed it down until I had the gap the same as original.
