955 transmission ratios

couldn't find this in searching - surely it has already been covered?

are there different gear sets for the '06 Tiger / 955 in general that would give lower 1st / taller 6th? the motor has plenty of power to handle wider ratios, and i don't want to compromise startoff by putting 'tall' sprockets on, but i spend a fair amount of time on Interstates.

maybe just a new pair of gears for first...?

Don't worry about the 19t front sprocket compromising anything. It doesn't. I can and do regularly take off in second gear. The engine pulls it easily. The revs drop by 450~500 so it's not going to drop you out of the power band is it?
