I second the opinion that you should go with an OEM
front sprocket, you definitely want that rubber
damper. I would also strongly recommend you drop one
tooth off the front. Gas mileage suffers negligably,
and you get a whole lot more snap off the line, and
1st gear isnt so over tall anymore. 1st is still a bit
over tall after you drop to an 18, IMHO...
