Any suggestion on how to make a '73 XL175 have a bit more top speed?

Im 17 and i'm trying to pick up my top speed just a bit. it tops out at about 65. and i was hoping to get it up to 80-90. any major suggestions? ive considered a bigger front sprocket but dont know where to really go for it. ive cleaned out my carb for better top end and just got a new intake for it. i like the bike a lot and would hate to get rid of something in such great shape for a newer bike. so im looking for options to beef it up a bit, thanks.

Larger front or smaller rear

Larger front or smaller rear sprocket should help out, and should be available from your local Honda dealer/pretty much any bike shop, even if the bike is quite old.
