IIRC my ST's OEM sprocket was a Sunstar, which is what I replaced it with 
(steel) for longer life.

Sure, "aluminium" reduces unsprung weight but we're talking street bikes here.

I sourced all my replacement chains and sprox at MotorCycleOnlineStore.com last 
time around. JT for the front and Sunstar for the rear.  Mention your HSTA 
membership for a discount.

Now why would you go up 2 in the back rather than dropping one or two in the 
front?  Seems easier to me w/o risk of needing another link in the chain, etc.
