Dude shit yeah. This japanese guy that made it for me made it look like a swan in the middle and it only has to be rebuilt every couple miles.
It's JDM AND lightweight.

I'm not sure you're taking the internet seriously enough man, you should make more of an effort to get angry on motorcycle forums.

also- did you try google?

Ebbs is right,I run the Ti sprockets and am very happy with them. They save A LOT of unsprung weight and they last forever. I had 40,000 miles on my '03 and the teeth still looked like new. I haven't noticed any unusual chain wear but I'm very meticulous when it comes to lining up my chain/sprockets. Besides,I've never seen a chain "wear out" but only "stretch out" if you know what I mean. I got the tri-metal sprockets and a top of the line chain for under $200 direct from supersprox. If you call them,they will be happy to help you with any re-gearing you may want to do. Oh and like Ebbs said,they have a lifetime warranty.

Ha maybe I'll get some credit on your next fucking blog....try and help these kids and what do you get.....

Nope. The most expensive sprocket offered is the full Ti II sprocket which retails for $169,followed by the Ti I sprocket for $139 and lastly,the Tri metal goes for $129 retail. They also offer Ti chain if you are crazy about saving weight! They had a special for $79 rear only or a kit for $200,I think... BTW Sidewinder doesn't sell too many Tri-metal sprockets anymore and they are marketed by Supersprox now. I was lucky enough to get another Ti tri-metal sprocket after letting my old one go with my '03 GSXR (like an idiot!).

Superprox uses a hardened steel instead of Ti now to cut costs...
