    Chains & Sprockets

    I'm in Sydney with a '98 5th Gen. Does anyone have a particularly recommended source for buying chain and sprockets? I'm up for the full set now and don't want to just drop the bike in to the nearest service place (Sydney City Motorcycles) and pay through the nose.

    Also, any particular recommendations as to brand of chain?

    Thanks for that Echo.

    Not sure if its feasible to mail-order chain & sprocket kits downunder; unfortunately Orange County is not that close to Sydney! Perhaps someone more local to me might have some ideas. I'm just rying to avoid dropping it in to the local mega-dealer workshop and paying accordingly.
