What sprocket sizes are you running

For those of you who have changed over to 17" wheels and tires, what sprocket sizes are you running and with what chain size? My Z1 has a 1075cc kit if that makes any difference. Looking for a good street ratio, not too buzzie at freeway speeds.

I run 17's and 530 pitch chain.
18 or 19 front and 40 to 42 back works well.
Been running my 1075 Z1R for 20 years like that and just done a 2000 mile trip to Faro Portugal from the UK .
