It's time I replace my sprockets, front and back... 40km on what I have and they're starting to worry me with new sounds and sensations coming from the drive train. And well, I want the rear sprocket to be cool. Can anyone point me in the direction of replacement sprockets that have a cool pattern, come in different colours, are a point of distraction for onlookers? Something out of the ordinary... something to suit my charismatic personality? Something extraordinaire?

Maybe a belt drive. Do they come in different colours.  Dwight please take note of the "U". Certainly be different. (With a few exeptions).

I got a black one because I don't clean my bike like you do.

Currently I'm running a rear sprocket off of a Honda Shadow. I like the round holes that match the chz graters, turn signals, drive & head lights, and the panel on the gas tank. I like my socks to match! Lol

The colored sprockets on newspeedmaster are aluminum. Fasteddy sells the steel ones that apparently are not available in colors. Do the aluminum ones wear out faster?

Ours are steel, and have decent, oblong holes. Have you considered cleaning and painting them? (Fire engine red, of course!)  
And you may see me tonight
