What set up do u run on ur 500? hard to believe they last forever or a long time.  I already pulled the trigger on a 47 t rear @ 130.00 and a 13t 49.99 and  39.99 14t front.  2 cans of lube 32.00, 2 links 13.98, bolt kit 30.00, chain 130.00. Like 472.00 total.

I was thinking I should have just went oem.

also just curious on others thoughts.

I didn't realize Sidewinder was still around....I used to use them back in the mid 80s, but I was running the alloys on an 83 CR125....they worked great back then.
