Tri-metal rear sprocket

[dxj_1]

I'll post pics today!!!!    Has anyone installed the tri-metal rear sprocket from sidewinder?  Just picked up one for install and I wanted to hear from anyone who have used them.

Here's a pic of the tri-metal sprocket.  It's a 43T

Yes I have close to 40,000 miles on a stock tooth rear Tri-Metal.  Best sprocket I have ever purchased.  Expensive when you consider the cost of other sprockets on the market however from my experience it is worth every dollar I paid for it and then some.

See the attached photographs.

Whats the benefit other than the obvious change in the gear?

Looks cool.

I live 10 minutes from St. Charles IL, where the sell them so I decided to go check them out. If you let the folks at sidewinder tell you, it's the best sprocket on the market.

I agree it's pricey. I paid 130.00 for my rear. You get a life time warranty (if you read the details it's more like a limited life time warranty). I do like the bling and it really does appears to be well built.

I was looking to go up a few on my rear sprocket and found this site. My local speed shop also recommended them too. Overall I very happy so far.

They have hardened steel teeth (the black part), aluminum carrier (gold part), and Titanium rivots. This is to make a superstrong yet lightweight sprocket. I believe they are made in Europe for Sidewinder. They can also make custom sprockets and I will wind up getting one for my busa once my Afam is worn out.
