    ARHMA Superbike Build - Ti Sprockets/Chain?

    Hi Guys,


    About mid way through my ARHMA Superbike build and was wondering if anyone has anyone used the titanium sprockets and chain from Sidewinder? Thinking of doing a 520 setup and wondering if it's worth the money. I'm running a 77GS750 - punching out to 850, SV650 rims, brakes and rubber, 43mm SV650 front end and a 81 GS1100 alum swingarm.

    Nice bike. All things being equal, a 520 setup on a racebike does save some rotating weight.

    ARHMA racebike only, right? In that case, IMHO get a quality 520 race chain from DID/RK/EH and save the money you'd spend on Ti chains/sprockets in favor of getting multiple aluminum rear sprockets so you can change your gearing per track. A quick search shows you can get 3-5 Vortex Al rear sprockets for the cost of one Ti rear sprocket.

      Yea you are right. I should save the cash. I know I will need a couple of different setups depending on the track. Your gs look rad.

        Do they allow 43's in AHMRA and it 4.5" the limit for a rear wheel? SV is a 5"

            Thanks for the info, I thought all the 650's were 5's. Did not want you spend a ton of time on something you would have to change.

            You learn somethign new everyday. Are you running a 150 or a 160?

            I'll go with another "I thought", I thought 99-03 SV were 41mm tubes? and here's a Did you know, that you can put CBR600F3 internals(tubes and rods) in SV forks and have adjustable dampening?

              But only preload and rebound, I guess it's much better then having none. Does the cbr forks have compression adjuster at the bottom? Is there any 41mm forks that does have comp. adjustment?
