i've just gone the alternative gearing route taking the rear up to a 41T and moving to a Tsubaki Sigma X Ring chain at 100 links.
noticed the swing arm protectors too - i've just bought some from a company in Australia via e-bay! cost me £21 including p&p - will post pics when they arrive.
Does anyone know a good reliable online store for getting sprockets and chain, since i've got my rear wheel off now (damned punctures) and would be the ideal time to fit a larger rear sprocket for the quicker acceleration. I'd go to the local shop but i'm working nights and tend to miss most of the day
749r, Looking at your piccies, and you say up 3 teeth and std chain, i cant help but note how short your wheel base is!! have you measured it?
Measure from the swing arm pivot to the centre of the wheel spindle, what you got? then ask JHP etc what would be good, i recon 500mm is the desired length..
