I weigh as much as the two of you together. My 2 cents, don't go lower than a 45 rear sprocket. It's the perfect sprocket combo for this bike, the power it makes, and the speeds it is capable of. With the exhaust upgrade and a 17/45 sprocket combo you will be lookin at top speeds of about 65-68mph, and a bike that will happily cruise along at 50-60mph all day long. That is the realistic best these bikes can do.
Just my 2 cents.
