Exactly what year/model bike are we talking about here? :unsure:

 

Oops stosh is right. Damn. I get stuck on my 6th gen. The site is still good for many other models though.

 

Thanks bud

 

Oh that probably would help--2002 VFR non-ABS

 

6th gen. So what I posted should help others here will kick in.

 

Wheeeew!!! :faint:

You had me worried for a minute there BP. I saw your post and thought maybe you were a mindreader or something.
I was thinkin' I might have to hit up VFourBear for one of his tin foil hats just to be on the safe side. :lol:

 

Now if i could only type.

 

Lol. I wouldn't worry about that too much BP.

It's been said that most people can type sixty words a minute,my typing is more like one word every six minutes.
So you can imagine how long it took me to type this last sentence. :spit:

 

+1 for Sprocket Center.
Best price I could get in Aust for a DID and steel sprockets was $440+
I got them for 229 delivered.

 

Thanks Mark

 

If you'd like to put togather a more peformance based kit, and don't mind going through a few places to get the parts, you may want to try the following.

A 520 DID ERV3 from Kyle racing, best chain on the market and Kyle has got them at the lowest price
A 520 Vortex F5 rear sprocket, thru Vortex website, with hard anodized coating (PTFE) to achieve very good longevity for aluminum. I am very much liking 45 teeth, but get whatever you like.
A 520 AFAM steel front sprocket thru sprocket specialists website. You won't find one on any of their ordering charts, but an email or phone call will get you the part.

The whole set-up will set you back about $230 if ordered this way, in large part because Kyle is about $50-$70 less than anyone else for the chain. In my opinion, it's superior to to the 530 DID kit sold thru Sprocket Specialists. It takes almost 5lbs off of the bike and frees up a few ponies, all without loosing any measurable tensile strength when compared to the DID 530 VM or ZVM with steel sprockets. And because the VFR's HP is comparitively low and the sprocket has been treated, you can still expect acceptable rear sprocket life.(I am at 6K miles and it's not showing any wear)
