Don't know about the pads, yet.  I've got new ones sitting in my garage,
just haven't gotten around to putting them on, but I can't imagine it's
that difficult.

Regarding the chain, I think you're getting taken to the cleaners.  I
had my chain replaced at LoneStar Triumph in Austin and the TOTAL cost
was US$140, labor was only $27 (I guess 1/2 hour).  Granted, I did not
get new sprockets.

Laters,
Brian
