Tires and gearing?

Lookin for some input. I have an 06RR (as scene in my avatar) and want to gear it slightly and am in desperate need of some rubber. What gearing do you guys recomend? I was thinking two up in the back and one down in the front but dont want to loose too much top end. Tires I'm still rockin the stock dunlops but am considering Perellies. Leave me some feedback.

Thanks!

My buddy has the Pilot power and loves it. The more I talk to people they tell me to stay away from the dropping one in the front.

Yeah I'll just stick with two up in the back. How bad do you think that will throw off my odometer?
