The attached links Professional bike test driver got a max speed of 158.3mph on a closed course with stock sprockets.
Your sprocket change has lowered your top speed by about 15%.
You guage could be off anywhere from 17-24% off with the factory error.
In which if you were reading 170mph and your speedo was off the max you would be travelling at an actual speed of 137mph, which sounds alot more correct and the math behind this makes sense, That is unless you have a one-of-a kind RR that defies all manufacturers specs?

Gearing commander says at 170mph with your set-up your at 17,500rpm and at 155mph your at 16,000rpm..... But hey I would believe a video radar proof over anything

Don't nee radar to tell you what math can. You have set gear ratios in the transmission. You have a set rear tire size. You have set sprocket teeth. You have a set redline for the motor. Combine all that and you know exactly what the bike is able to do top speed wise. Doesn't matter what GPS, radar or your speedo tell you. An all stock f4i can do 165mph at redline. No way to change that without changing hard parts. If you do sprockets down in the front and/or up in the back the top speed will go down. Same thing with an RR.
