I think my post was deleted.
I'm looking for a good chain and sproket kit. It was mentioned Fast Eddy, and the stock Triumph part. I found a site that offers a kit, Sproketcenter.com, for less cost. The kit they offer is for the 900 America. Is there a differance in the final drives of the America?

The number of teeth has changed over time so be sure what combination you want before you order. Also be sure a cheaper kit has a steel rear sprocket and not an aluminum one. Quality of the chain could be an issue too. As I posted before ,I like the stock kit from Triumph. (I run 16 front and 42 rear but that is the stock SM gearing from 04)

Eddy can sell you a sprocket kit with the OEM rear sprocket (steel) Don't buy an aluminum one. They don't hold up. You will end up doing it all over again.

Eddy's fast service is legendary! I ordered a rear sprocket from him and some EBC brake pads today. The chain I get elsewhere as I prefer D.I.D. chains.

I didn't notice what chain is in his kit. I'm at work and can't access his site.

I ordered a CDI from Eddy and it arrived before I hung up the phone!
