Also made a 16t front sprocket & will try it with 38t rear.
The best way to get super accurate fill ups is to use the same pump everytime and stand over the bike to keep it level and rock it once in a while as you get near the top. Find a part of the fill plate inside the filler neck that you can see and fill until the fuel just breaks tension and washes over it as you rock.
