I'm not sure 15/49 is such a great idea even so... Look at the file I put upp... at 16/44 or 45 it's plenty wheelhappy but still good for the twisties...
Above that it's beginning to be a nuisance on the highway... and hard work keeping the front down in the corners... You'll find that most allround riders stick with a 43-44 back sprocket and either a stock 16 front or 15...
15/49 isn't a "pro" stuntbike perhaps... but by then the main use is stunts... with the occasional cruise around downtown at close to walking speed... Not the choiche for me... Might be for you... But I'd recommend trying a 16/43 on stock chain lenght and see what you think before going for a full on stunt setup...
I'm running 16/43 and so is Blue Ridge Boy according to his signature...

yep....I'm more of a cornering guy...and the 16/43 (soon to be 15/43) works great for me in the hills of NC.
All I'm saying is if you realllly want to be able to pull the front up anytime you want...go with what your thinking.
...But remember...the bigger the sprocket on the back....the less the top end. So with a 15/49 setup, your top speed will be significantly lowered.

That's plus 2 in the rear from stock. I run that setup now and love it, anything more would almost ruin the fun IMHO. If you are not stunting all the time (which would be weird on a bike this heavy) you don't want to go overboard.

And lets not forget fuel range. I'd hazard to guess a 15/49 would give you about 70 mile range or less! Although your ODO will read 200 so it's all good......
