I put a 17 on my '92 750 & I like it. It is similar to having a 6th gear. Rear is a 38, which I believe is stock.

At 29,436 I also put a Sunstar 38T rear sprocket and a DID525VX 110-link masterless O-ring chain. This was the setup I rode to San Fran and back last May, and, as I posted the other day, she's got over 40K miles on her now, so almost 11,000 miles on the setup. So far, I'm very satisfied. The DID525VX is not cheap, and I had to pay to have it installed, but it does not stretch. I think I rode all the way home with my wife on the back and never had to tighten the chain. As I think I've said before, the 17-tooth front sprocket is the way to go, IMHO. I used to find myself constantly reaching for 6th gear, but not anymore. RPMs are lower, gas economy is better, and it feels peppier since I don't weigh that much to bog her down. I don't know what you've got on your bike now, but I've still got that 16T sprocket here with 3K miles on it. I won't be going back to it, so if you are still at 15T and want to try 16T as an experiment, I could send it to you. Oh, and the 16T is for the front.
