    Do you miss cleaning your rear wheel?
    Do you love the smell of burning oil when you over-lube your chain and it slings all over your muffler?
    Well then. Do I have the perfect thing for you!
    Dirt cheap chain conversion parts!!
    A PMP rear 52 tooth sprocket, PBI front 22 tooth sprocket (you do the math), and a DID gold 520 chain! 108 links (was perfect for my XBS with a R swing arm).
    I stepped up to a 530 set-up because I doubt my manhood and I feel much better when I can brag about the size of my "chain" to my "'busa bro's"...
    It's used, pretty clean, and matches the stock gold wheels really well!
    $90+ship

    chain stretches way to fast on our bikes...

    too much torque, the chain cant handle it.

    @ DrogeN Omen: Oh really? That's very interesting...
    I'd like to hear more about your opinion.
    I can't wait to discuss your personal views... HERE on my "for sale" thread about the stuff I'm trying to sell!




    @ ShayisOkay: I'm not sure what gearing your bike has on it now. Let me know what yours has and we can find out together! I took it off a bike I was going to use for track days, but it's so nice I put on a 530 chain conversion, and I ride it everyday:D

    Sorry for the jack Coot, but Drogen's opinion is worth dispelling with some fact:
    - XB12: 84ft-lb & belt drive
    - ZX14: 113 ft-lb & chain drive

    Thanks Go Cytosis for the positive (and FACT based) comment
    I really do like the conversion!! All of the reasons why have been stated in the several threads on the subject.

    Drogen is a good dude, he just misplaced his unsolicited opinion, that's all. No biggie, and I'm over it:D

    I was only because thats the second time in a row someone has hijacked my for sale thread with "I don't personally like that mod, no one should buy it". Uh, Thanks?
    That ranks right up there with "I wouldn't pay that much for that thing". Ok... DON'T!! It's worth WHATEVER someone else is willing to pay, that is all. If that's not you...move along.

    The "for sale section" is for things that are to be bought or sold. There are plenty of OTHER places on this awesome forum for discussion and opinions.

    Whew! Rant off, sorry.
