Re: [ST] Chain Life

["Denis Liakos" <denoose@xxxxxxx>]

I have 19K on my original chain, which begs the question, what would be a 
good replacement, and also I should probably do the sprockets, too.  I know 
I should stay with a Triumph front sprocket for the damper, but what about 
the rear?  Costs? We have our annual "garage day" coming up here in New 
England, and I may get everything together so that I can get some help with 
the installation...

Ken??


Thanks
