GDubb:
What do you guys think about the DID ERT2? It looks like the most bling and has a tensile strength of 8100 lbs. Not bad for $66. I looked at the Sidwinder chains and they arent too outrageously priced but they list a 7000 lb and a 10,000 lb version with a $20 difference between the two. Thats a big gap in tensile strength so I dont know whether I should consider the 7 or 10. Then add $20 for double gold plating and it starts to add up.
Do any of you guys that run Sidewinder sprockets run their chains as well? Stewart? Any advise?

We run the DID ERT chains on all the 5's and 250's we drag race and have never had any problems with this chain. We run sunstar front spockets and sprocket specialist or chris's rear sprockets. You want to go fast try my combo 17 front from a banshee 37 rear from chris's
stewart:
sidewinder chain and sprocket sets have been flawless,,i have them on my bike 3years no adjustments dyno and ride time
GDubb:
Does anyone know of a steel rear sprocket with some bling factor? Or are they all just plain 'ol gray steel? I've been looking everywhere. The Sidewinders will be my last resort if I cant find a decent looking steel sprocket. Even though I have a chunk of money right now because of my tax return, I am fighting feeling irresponsible for considering dropping that kind of loot for sprockets given the rest of my financial situation.

One more question...
If subtracting teeth from the front sprocket gears the bike DOWN...
and subtracting teeth from the rear sprocket gears the bike UP...
Then what the hell is the point of 13-45 gearing? Isn't that combo kind of contradictory? Wouldn't that be the same as or really close to stock gearing or am I misunderstanding the concept of gearing? If that combo worked decent for me then should I just go ahead and run the stock 14-47 and not notice much difference?
