Re: Sprocket price and quality

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just my opinion but if you want to go aftermarket, and I'd absolutely 
do so for the rear, I'd recommend AFAM. Also FWIW I'd stick with 
steel for the rear. Although the aluminum may save a pound I'd rather 
get the extra 10,000 miles of wear that steel will afford. The ST is 
a street bike not a race bike trying to save a pound or so to give up 
a lot of sprocket life doesn't seem to me to be a good trade off. 
Just my $.02
