Sitting here bored so I thought I would post pics of my new gearing setup.
I was running a 16T Renthal front sprocket and a 40T Tag aluminum rear sprocket. I ground down the Nac's case saver many moons ago to clear the 16T front. The Tag rear has very little wear/use so I may put it up for sale.
I was wanting a slightly taller gear ratio, so I went with a new OEM Honda 15T front sprocket, and a ProTaper CS4 37T steel rear sprocket. I wanted a steel rear sprocket for longevity, but since steel is heavy, I wanted to find the lightest all steel sprocket I could. The CS4 rear is one of the few steel sprockets I found that have been drilled for weight savings. It also wasn't very expensive, as I didn't want to shell out $70 plus for some fancy titanium etc. rear.
Here is my prior 16/40 setup with modded red Nac's case saver.

New ProTaper CS4 37T steel rear. The center has been machined out as much as possible as well as drilled to cut weight. It wears some type of special black KTL paint coating.

I wasn't sure how the black would look, but it's looking pretty sexy against the candy blue powder and billet sprocket hub. I gave the billet hub a good polishing as it was looking pretty dull to start.

New Honda 15T front, and installed a new blue anodized Nac's case saver to top it off :cool:

The blue case saver cleaned up the look a lot IMO. It ties the candy blue accents together from front to back.
