    Funny name, but oh well. +1 on giving him some coin

    Here's a pic of my set up, Driven sprocket with blue EK MVXZ 520, you can also see the rear brake line, Spiegler, that I got from him too. Of course it came with the dual fronts. Really nice lines.

    Might just be the angle.

    They are fine. I've mounted PU steelies on a few bikes without complaints or issues.

    I noticed that too tonight when I looked at the pic and wondered where the hell I learned how to tighten a chain.

    But really, that was taken a few minutes after I finished riveting the master and tightening it all up. New chain lobbed with lithium grease, it was stiff as hell. Hence why I didn't clean the wheel while it was off, it was going to be a mess a few mins down the road...and a mess it was. And the left rear fairing and under tail.

    I just bought one of these from moto mummy. http://www.speedodrd.com/

    It's a little cheaper than the Speedohealer and maybe just a tad harder to setup initially but does all the same functions and takes up way less space under the seat/undertail which was important to me.

    Gotcha. Just lookin out for ya.
    A tight chain is probably the #1 "offender" in tech inspection from my experience. You wouldn't believe how many people I see with chains as tight as piano strings. A loose chain is a happy chain, I say

    :hijack: holy shit, they check chain tension in tech? I wonder if there's a full list of all the stuff they check in tech? Lemme guess... read my LRRS manual. I never knew they checked that though. Makes sense. Seems to me like tech is usually brakes, throttle return, pull the front down (steerer bearings?) and here's your sticker. Only thing I've ever been booted from tech for was a sticky throttle. Then again, they may not check the EXs as much as they check real motorcycles that actually go fast...

    I ordered my last set from sprocketcenter.com

    Swapped out the RK chain for a DID chain and it actually came out cheaper

    Got both steel sprockets. ~$170 shipped.

    call them and let them know what you want... provided excellent service and I'm going back there.
