replacement of sprockets???

I've been looking at changing the front sprocket on my Marauder. The folks on the Marauder-Intruder board highly recommend it mainly because the Marauder's RPMs at highway speeds are kind of high. Here's some info I found:

5th gear rpm @60 mph are:
15 tooth - 3884
16 tooth - 3641
17 tooth - 3427

And a nice quote:

The front sprocket change is one of the easiest, cheapest and best
mods you can do on a 'Rauder. The sprocket change affects lower rpm
operation very little, but makes a bigger difference at cruise speeds.
A 17 will drop your rpm about 600 - 800 rpm at 70 mph. I've been on
several +400 mile trips with a 16 tooth, and it way more comfortable
than the 15.
