Default omfg!!!!! i love bike stores

just need to vent,

most of you know im changing my chain and sprockets over, any way, after my parts were 2 days late, i finally could pick them up.

while im at the bike store i grab a set of bar raisers as well. get home install the rear sprocket, very easily. great now all i have to do is put on the front sprocket on and im done. pop the old buggered sprocket off and put on the new one..... it was like trying to push a square through the triangle hole. totally different "key"(the pattern on the inside of the gear)...wtf. so hopefully i can find a front sprocket somewhere bye friday or im not going on my ride, and i get to catch the bus every where now.

bar raisers when on great, really comfortable up higher.

well thats my vent

Well That sucks! I heard that a Honda XL650 sprocket will fit. My 13 tooth didn't have the shoulder, so I had to trade a dozen donuts for a machine shop to make me one.

At least you got the front sprocket off easy mine gets stuck every time. Double check part #'s on the honda sprockets I got the wrong one and had to grind the shoulder down.

With a topic title like that, I thought you found something totally awasome that you just had to share it with others.

That's pretty exciting news! Good for you guys. Hey, quick question, my boyfriend sent me a link to a website today. It's <http://www.electronics-brand.com/>.
According to the site, they sell A BUNCH of crazyass ish for unbelievable deals, even motorcycles. It's supposedly 100% secure/safe, and their products are directly sent from China..hence the low cost.

But, they have Katanas, Repsols, and sweet Kawasaki's on the site for RIDICULOUSLY low prices, e.g. $2000 for a brand new Ninja...has anybody heard about this? Is it really as legit as it states?? Just curious. I'm really tempted to buy something!!

ummm, yea... they said they would do that, it was timing that pissed me off, as my klx is my go everywhere bike, so i dont have a car (yay for winter and rain)

all good now, they had one for an old Yamaha that he said would fit, so go figure why they didnt give me that in the first place, so same part number on the sprocket.
