redline in 6th gear..stock gearing

wandering how many of you guys can redline 6th gear with stock gearing? i also have full exhaust/jet/pod filters. im not sure if its my weight holding the bike back ( 330lbs and not easily able to tuck ) but in 6th gear on flat ground im lucky to hit 11k rpms. usually 80mph is the wall i hit around 10-10.5k, now obviously down hill or if the wind is with me i can do a little better. 5th i can redline which is almost 90 but i really dont wanna have to be at redline screaming down the hwy ..loL~ , my reason is i want just a little more top end, i find my self in most situations cruising at 80 on the hwy and i feel like at times i need just a little more, so id be happy to be able to hit 90 as easy as i can hit 80.. considering changing to a 15t sprocket, but if i cant get much past 10k in 6th im wandering what will happen with a 15t..
