I was shopping around for a sprocket/chain set and I found this site. What do you guys think about this deal? Has anyone dealt with this place before? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

becareful about getting that "ideal" gear ratio, there is no such thing as an ideal gear ratio, just what's ideal for you, or for a particular track. Some people on SVrider forums complained that the engine RPM is too high at freeway speeds with that ratio. I went one down in the front and kept the rear the same, noticable difference in acceleration, RPM's are only slightly higher, and i still get awesome MPG. I forget all the calculations, but you should search SVrider because some guy did all the calculations for us, hehe.

edit: I also kept my 525 chain and steel rear sprocket. 520 rear sprockets only come in aluminium (last i checked anyway) and wear out much faster. yeah a 520 setup may help accelerate a little faster, but IMO on the street you're not gonna notice much. I always gained on my fellow SV riders on long straights, even though they had more go fast mods than me... i think this is because of my weight (140 ish.) but this is just my opinion, 520 chains are proven to shave lap times.
