I got a 08 Raven. Gold levers, rearsets... blah blah...

Should I go gold or black sprocket...
I was thinking gold sprocket, black chain and sprocket nuts...
or black sprocket and gold chain, gold sprocket nuts.

What you think?

Ahhh, I personally think too much gold with the gold sprocket. I just bought the black sprocket with the gold chain. I should be putting it on this weekend if I have time. I'll post pics when I can if you're still around . . .

the gold sprocket will not match the o ther gold items on your bike. even many gold chains do not. what someone said about the black chain/black sprockets and gold sprocket nuts would probably look the best. not too much gold and not enough mass to really be able to color match it.

yeah i bought the ddriven blue rear sprocket thinkin it might possibly match the blue on the r6 but its a bit lighter but idc the blue with the gold chain goes pretty well with the blue on the bike

I bought the Driven sprocket from gsxcorey and also bought a gold chain. I have the same bike as you (black 08).

When I bought mine I was wanting to get a gold sprocket, but I steered away from that since it would be unlikely it would match in color. I think the black w/gold chain is a nice and subtle accent.

I will post pictures for you when I get home.

Gold sprocket would work if your rear sets weren't gold. I'd go with black sprocket.

I'd say either the gold chain, or just all black with the gold accent nuts. What ever you choose, plx post pics when you are done! :D

Looks kick ass man! It came out very well and definitely suits the bike

yes the black chain is very badass. the gold inner links are a nice subtle accent for it for sure. It's defnitely my favorite chain and when the ones i'm using now needs replaced it will be with the black ek chain.

I don't have any close ups, but the picture above me of the blue bike is pretty damn good. This is with the EK MVXZ chain.

Looks like I'll be getting the black sprocket/black chain and gold sprocket nuts. I hope it's $26.50 for a set of sprocket nuts... Not for one.

I was looking and those are steep. I was thinking more like the factory ones just in a different color. Haha. Think I should get a blue Stealth sprocket?

+1 with GSXCORY. Black chain, black sprocket and gold nuts. Get some black rear wheel adjusters also.
