Re: OEM v. Aftermarket front sprockets

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Darren I recently faced the same dilemma. After speaking with my 
dealer and Triumph I sprung for the OEM front,  ( steel AFAM rear) 
The reasons I was given for sticking with the OEM front are reduced 
transfer of vibration to the transmission, resulting in smooth 
shifts, longer life, and less vibration.
