Mine is a 92, I guess it is a matter of opinion and how you like to ride. I for one would like to know you're thoughts on the change, so post a report once you switch the gears. Personally I have considered trying a 14 tooth to get better roll on power. I find myself keeping it in lower gears so that I can get snappier acceleration especially when there is traffic. Besides @ 70 MPH you can't hear the engine over the wind so the 5K RPM wouldn't bother me.
