SS SERIES SPROCKETS (Sprocket Specialist)

KawZX7R · 07-12-2004, 01:58 PM

These sprockets any good?

I ordered the stealth rear and the ss front from them.

The stealth is aluminum center with ss teeth attached by Ti rivets.

Unfortunately, I am still waiting on UPS to deliver.

Well they said they have a 45 tooth ss for like $65 but i got to the site and they dont got the one for a 525 chain, but they got them for a 520 and a 530 so i guess im stuck on finding one again, i could get an Aluminum one but i want a steel one and i know the ss isnt steel but the strenth is in between the steel and Aluminum

doesn't ss = stainless steel?

KawZX7R · 07-12-2004, 06:38 PM

Try the stealth sprocket, lemme see if I can find it in a 525... and let me look for the SS also.

KawZX7R · 07-12-2004, 06:47 PM

Well ok i called them back and they said that they do have it for a 525 but backordered lol so they said the can get me a Standard Aluminum one and put a hard anodizing coat on it so its almost like steel but it will take 4 weeks to do lol so im not sure what im going to do

Not really seeing it, all I see is the alloy and steel. The stealth is also for 520 only.

KawZX7R · 07-12-2004, 06:57 PM

The lady on the phone said the web site stuff is for conversions witch is stupid cause people will go on there and look and not see what the have for there bike, cause not all people are going to change there chain

SyntheticReality · 07-12-2004, 07:09 PM

Yeah, I decided to just change it all out.

I did the same thing. I have the Sprocket Specialist front and rear, with the rear being the Stealth model. I think it looks nice.

I stayed the same 16 teeth in the front, but went up 2 in the back. Not much noticeable change so far...

Looks nice, should add a nice touch to my bike.

green_zx7r,

Did you put a new chain on also? If so, why did you set it back so far? When I put my chain/sprocket combo on, I had the wheel pushed all the way forward and then cut the chain.

Just curious.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say anything. Having the wheel out that far is going to effect your turning ability, basically giving the bike a longer wheelbase. That's about where mine is set, just because the stock chain has stretched so much (a 520 replacement is already on the way).

Also, those spools are HUGE!

The wheel had to be pushed back because the 45t sprocket hits a metal piece in the front part of the swingarm. I don't notice any turnability issues, but then again, I haven't ridden very hard since.

As for the question of chain, yes, I did change the chain as well to 520.

The spools are huge because they act as swingarm sliders as well. They actually did a very good job on my bike when I went down one time.
