i am running a 14/47 also, you will notice running at significantly higher RPM for the same speed, takes a bit to get used to. i dont do a lot of highway or long straight riding, so it works well for me, but if you do, you may not want to go that high

120 link cut off about 3-4 links. I went with the 14-47 conversion.
