I ran 16/43 on standard chain no worries. According to gearing commander it is 9mm closer swing arm length. I think 16 45 would be pushing it , as it is 17.5 shorter than stock, and probably wouyldnt fit. Also it is probably too short a ratio for the busa.
I was very hapy with 16/43, and only recently needed a new chain. Decided to go 17/46 as it is the same ratio, and biger front sprocket gives longer chain life. 17 /46 with a 114 link chain (2 links more than stock gen1, same as gen2) is 8mm shorter than stock.
