I have some of your same mods, 38 airstryker, K&N, bored .40 over, esr trx6 (low-mid range) pipe and a 15 tooth front sprocket with 18s. According to a gps I can get 72-74 mph on pavement

I think with that set-up you should be running into the low 80s if you went higher on your gearing.

well i took a ds on top end and from what ive heard theyre supposed to do around 76-78 or something??? (just didnt wanna sound cocky and say that it did over 75) but im thinking of gearing lower for more bottom end cause top speed isnt really usefull to me...any suggestions?

Could see how you may want some low end power but a 13 tooth sprocket with 18" tires is really low, try a 14 front if you want a little more on top. The bottom end shouldn't suffer too much especially since you are a pretty light guy.
