A 14/47 sprocket set up would improve the top gear (if you can get the sprocket and chain). However it will give you a lousy lower set of gears and you will still have a big gap 3rd to 4th.
A top gear ratio of around 4.8/4.9 or even 5 to ensure good pulling two up on hills, would suit you. Use an Li150 or Li125 gearbox, nice close ratios and most easily obtained.

Thats right, the larger the front sprocket the better Get an Li gearbox.

A chap in our group runs a TV200 box on a Indian 200 top end end.

He's just over 5 feet tall and weighs next to nothing - the combo works very well - very well indeed.

So not everyone buying on Ebay is a 'mug' or 'collector'. ;)

I am not a mug or a collector but the TV 200 gearbox I've just bought off E bay goes well with the TV 200 barrel.
Impressed with a standard cast 200 pulling the 4.4 final drive.
