I bought a Renthal chain and sprocket kit last week from Sportsbikeshop.co.uk. When I telephoned them to enquire about the kit I asked them if they would offer any discount. They gave me 10% discount which took the price down to £126.84 including delivery.
The kit the I bought is the Alpha Tiger 955 which comes with a Gold X ring chain and anodised renthal sprockets. I have now fitted them and they are excellent. I was being quoted over £140.00 plus shipping elsewhere
The guy I spoke to was called Andy and he was very helpful. :D
Sweet! Any photos of new cogs and chain installed? Anodized looks cool.

Here's a photo of the new kit. Also worth mentioning that I have moved away from oil based chain lube and now use Profi-Dry lube. No mess and spatter and does not attract dirt and grime on to the chain.
Supplier details: www.performancemotorcare.com (http://www.performancemotorcare.com) It costs £!3.99 for a 400ml spray which is supposed to last 3 times longer than traditional chain lube.

Ahaa, nice one, might be up in a few weeks to look in on john Gaskell.
Anyone know of US distributors of Profi or Wurth dry lubes?
Not on subject, but you sure keep a damn clean bike ! What other mods have you added ? Got a pic of the whole bike to share?
Never mind, I found your post with pics. Very nice Tiger !

Hi,
Thanks for your comments. I have shares in Autoglym products. Only kidding, I just keep on top of the cleaning as it pays off when the time to sell comes around.
All the best to you :D
