Re: [St] Aluminum or Steel...

Pretty sure my replacement was steel.  I used Aluminum on my dirt bikes but
not on my street bikes.

You can still get both steel or aluminum. I just replaced my rear with a
steel JT but not in the 45 (OEM 43). Steel should last as long as the chain,
AFAIK. Aluminum will wear faster and cost you more. 
 
Google gives up a bit of info: 
1. It looks like the sprocket for the Suz GSF1200 Bandit is the same rear
and same chain 2.

AFAIK, most aftermarket sprockets (rears at least) are made of Aluminum
these days.  I don't think you have to worry about wear, though.  I haven't
run one, but I'm pretty sure that people are able to get 15-20k miles out of
the aluminum sprockets.  You'll still find steel front sprockets, and I 'm
guessing its due to the splined drive shaft...

as predicted...)

be 01 RS. Triumph doesnt make one, and my local dealer can only seem to find
one in aluminum. Is it just me, or does that sound strange ?  I dont believe
I have ever had an aluminum rear sprocket on any of my bikes. Is there a
reason not to use one? Just seems to me it wouldnt last very long...
