I''ll ask, how was the tension on the chain? And that no OEM sprocket who ever said that. I''ve hard mixed reviews on Vortex sprockets, but good n bad like this. My driven gears are still goin strong.

You know, now that I think about it the sprocket may be a Parts Unlimited sprocket. Whatever that is lol. Yeah that''s me that''s trying to sell my bike. Horrible timing for this to happen! :(

sprockets aren''t that much...just return it stock if your trying to sale...screw aluminum though...save weight reductions for the track

ya thats not a vortex sprocket....it looks OEM. I have a Vortex sprocket on my bike and ive put 4,300 miles on it since ive bought the sprocket...and its getting close to replacing though. But overall a great sprocket for aluminum...not gonna lie. I ride my bike really hard too and this sprocket as held up really FN well!!!!
.....ya that sprocket is the worst ive ever seen man!!!...lol get that fixed ASAP

it looks OEM.
Alright time to bitch smack someone.
First off...7075-T6...is a grade of ALUMINUM METAL NOT STEEL. I used to work in a train yard for US Steel that dealt with all kinds of metal on a day to day basis...and that is NOT steel. 7075-T6 is ALUMINUM!!!!! And in case someone forgot...stock sprockets "OEM" on these bikes are STEEL

i think the whole aluminum and/or 520 conversion thing was pretty much designed for track use where these parts get changed out much more frequently and shaving 1 pound actually makes a crap. if i want to go faster, ill just skip a few cheeseburgers..
So true, on the street that conversion means jack sh!t other than a reason to mod.
