Is that your auction??

no, I beleive it is Matt from DynamoHumm (a great and helpful bunch of guys btw)

ROFL. That's me (high bidder).

I'm going to bid on it eventhough I have a 520 set up....bid war!! :lol: j/k

Well hey, at worst, you could use it as a shuriken! :D

Where's my dictionary again... :lol: I'll cut ya man heyaw.

Damn y'all. I've been watchin that auction for 3 days now! Haha.

Would replacing the rear require a new front and new chain?
I'm only at 7k miles. No noticiable wear.

Is the chain stretching? How are the teeth on the front sprocket?

At 7k, you should most likely be fine.

Come on guys I need this. Everytime I go to the strip I have to race busa's and liter bikes. I need the extra pep!

FWIW, the seller states 43 is stock, but I believe 41 is stock. So this sprocket is +2 on the rear.

As for racing Busa's and 1000 i4's, why not TURBO and N2O??? :D

If I run a turbo or N20 I'd loose the "your bike is slower but you still won" respect. With 99 RWHP they know I'm a better rider but with 1??RWHP they can shrug it off as a cheater bike. Most of the liter bikes I've raced have already been re-geared so I don't really look at it as an unfair advantage on my end. I have thought about hiding a wet N20 system just to see the reaction I'd get.

Yes 41 is stock and 43 is 2 up, I have 15-41 for street and 15-43 for track. 16 was stock for the front.

Doh. Didn't win.

Marm, .50 cents man , you lost by .50 cents....why...that is like half a coke...LOL

We have our limits and it is nice to see that you didn't go past yours....

I have a 43 tooth, I might wanna sell....I never put the thing on, and don't know if I am going to....for the street, it's like, why do I need more on the low end?? Would it really make that much diff? ah, what ever.....lol

Actually, I missed the end of the auction because I had to drop off papers at the pet store. Oh wells. No biggie.

I may be interested in your 43, if only because I like having spares of stuff. :)

Sorry guys but I had to have it!

No worries. I'd much rather lose it to a SHF-member.

Unless they've got a blue bike.... :D

Now I just need a jet kit!

Doesn't CNI have one?

He said he had a sale pending with another member.

You can find 'em fairly cheap on eBay, too.

Woo Hoo!
Now I can pull wheelies easily in first second and third.

Fun set up eh!

I'm guessing no one has complaints about aluminum sprockets?? Light is good, but...

Light but don't last as long, maintenance will help.

The non hardened ones go away pretty fast.. I have gone to a hardened aluminum now. I'll let you know how long it lasts.
My co-worker has a hardened one on his SV and it seems to be holding up pretty good. Although it is a 650, so it's not gonna stress it like a hawk will.

Vortex are crap, IMO. I went with hardened AFAM and we'll see how many miles that goes.
