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. Randy

-------------reply------------------------ 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. Mike Torst A16 Las Vegas

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. -- Z DC A5X A12X List sponsored by Dual Sport News at www.dualsportnews.com.
