    great!! Had my stuff in a week. Payed for it friday evening and they shipped it the following Tuesday with UPS and I receivd it that Friday afternoon. Everything was packaged seperatly. The chain looks awsome on my bike. Would have liked to have one of these sprockets in the black and red though!!!

And sprockets while you're in there . I'll do it for a new tool (my choice) and some pizza if you wanna come down .

      well then tell me where im riding

                          I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I hate to start a new one when I have a question so closely related. A buddy and I just put a new chain and sprocket set on his bike (05 Kat – 750) because the old chain was really tight in one spot and loose pretty much everywhere else. With the new sprockets and chain it is still doing the same thing. Not quite as bad but still very noticeable. The rear axle nut is torqued to the specified torque setting, the rear axle does not appear to be bent, and the sprockets do not seem to be out of round to the naked eye. We can't think of anything else for the life of us that could be causing this problem. Any ideas?

                            Well, for one, for you to hijack a thread, its got to be an active thread with discussion LOL Since the last post was back in March of this year, Its not a hijack.. Just shows us you have enough brains to use the search button :::Applause::::

                            Now, as for the chain.. Brand new out of the package I am assuming.

                            Have you riden yet on the chain to break it in a little?
                            Are you noticing the "tightness" in the area of the Master Link?

                            If no to the first question.. Go put a few miles on it first and see.
                            If yes to the second question, then you might have installed the master link too tightly and now its binding the chain. No biggie, just dremmel or grind out the installed Master, grab another from the stealership for like 2 bucks and install, Just not so tightly this time.
                            If its not broke, Hit it with a bigger hammer and blame it on cheap imports

                            RIP Dad 3/15/08 Love and miss ya already

                                I just found the same problem on my Kat (smooth... few inch... and tight !!).

                                I just want a know if somebody here already bought chain & sprokets from seller sledpartsguy on ebay (item 180269323026) ?

                                thanks
