pbi c/s sprocket

I'm looking for a 16 tooth sprocket and I don't have any experience
with aftermarket sprockets other than AFAM. Couldn't find one of
those for the KLR so I'd appreciate any feedback on PBI sprocket
quality or any other recommendations for a 16T. Thanks.

Hey Randy - I use the 16t PBI - excellent for higher speed travel.
The sprocket is built well. One note - the chain will be VERY close
to the sprocket covers forward wire guard section, so you may hear a
soft rubbing sound when you first use a 16t sprocket. My guard has
some rub marks just in front of the sprocket. No big deal, but you
should be prepared for it.

!!!!! Dammit, I've wanted one of those ever since they hit the shores 2
years ago. Unfortunately, I can't find one on the east coast to go look
at and sit on... So is it relatively well proportioned (i.e. would I fit
on it?). At ~$2500 delivered, I've always thought they were smoking
deals.
