Or from Partmonster... I've ordered from him... I think 5 times now... REALLY good guy to work with... and pretty innexpensive too! By far the best prices I found on the stuff I bought (except he can't get lower than dtmaonline for tires, but then again, it ended up a wash price-wise with the tax and extra shipping DTMA charges and I didn't have to wait a MONTH on them from Louie!)

Prices here:

While you're resprocketing it, gear that bitch down. -1 in front is good, but  added to a +1 in back is better :cool:

doesnt going -1 front +1rear kinda negate the change to begin with? maybe not equally as i was told 3 in the rear is equal to 1 in the front...??

-1 in front and +1 in the rear allows you to keep the stock chain length and the adjuster will be in the correct position. The -1 in front is like adding 3 in the back, so, -1 in front and +1 in back is like going +4 in the back. Just a little lower than the -1 in front. This is what I run and I love it.

do you use an alloy rear? I cant find any steel ones higher than 45...tried a hardened alloy rear and broke all of the teeth on a holiday weekend of hard riding (only had 2 weeks on the sprocket to begin with...maybe 1500 miles at the most)

Yep, I use a hard anodized alloy rear 46 tooth from AFAM. Have had it on for about 3 thousand miles and no problems yet. I have done a lot of drag racing with it as well. Holds up good with little wear so far.

ever use vortex? they have one that they advertise as being better than standard hardened alloy...thats what i was using (AFAM) with 30mm chain adjustment...I have since decided to stick with the steel for a bit...cant afford a new sprocket every 1500 miles, got to many other things to get :lol

In Chaparral's catalog, they have a aluminum inner with a steel teeth. Don't try to find it on their web site because it SUCKS.

You could call Roger at Motoman (909) 608-0082 or e-mail him at Motomantwstec@aol.com ...

I think I paid $108 plus $7 S&H. Make sure you mention the rivet link and the gold color. There was no extra charge. The chain had the original box.

IIRC it said "DID530ZVM-110 G & B".....

It was first reffered by GregG2.......

Cheers,

OK-I'll go look. OK, I'm back. Page 348 the name is Sprocket Specialists Stealth. Cost is $64.99 for our bike the teeth range is-39,41,42,43,44,45,46,47. the part number is #500-ST302. Here is what it says-

>Steel teeth and an aluminum inner part

>Both parts permanently joined with super tough forged rivets

>Will last 3 times longer than any aluminum sprocket on the market today

>Half the weight of a steel sprocket to help you fly.

BTW- if anyone is shopping for a Christmas gift for me, I want a 45 tooth. :lol:
