Gearing wise, the SM sprockets of 15-41 feel a bit tall with an 18 inch rear, I am currently running (S model standard gearing) 15-44.

Yeah.. The S suspension is SOFT.. I had my rear pre-load on max and it was still dragging it's arse. I really wish i'd swapped the spring..
The front is fine though.. With your luggage on, my front end feels light.. MY K60 front tyre has 16,000 miles on it and still has LOADS of tread left 
Standard S gearing is 15/45... I changed down to 15/43 which still had me reving high at 60mph and left behind on the highway..
I then changed to 16/45 which I heard was a good mod but It was WAY too long. The engine just didn't have the grunt to pull a loaded bike up hills... Nightmare !!!
I think the perfect "road biast" trip would be a 15/41 (sm standard) and 15/45 for an offroad biast trip..
IMO......
