I like that shelf behind your bike haha. Looks like a nice place to store your gear and stuff. Anyways, glad you finally started to officially tear down your bike and rebuild it! Nice looking list you have there. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with!

:cheers Adam

I found him on ebay, not sure what his ebay handle is but if you google YEC flash it should give you all the info you need. I believe he is a member here too. You can try R1 forum as well. Sorry I would track it down for you but I'm at work and my time is limited.

I also need a new chain, more so to replace the Red EK chain I've got. What chain should I run with Driven sprockets? Recommendations please...
 
#25 ·
I'm a Renthal person myself but i hear good things about Superlite sprockets as well.A race chain is the only way to go imo, Most track guys I know use DID erv-x race one or EK race. Chain is one place I'm not really concerned with color but more with performance. Again just a suggestion

You're the man Sherman! Thanks brutha!

Good shit! Added to the list! That's really why I'm getting rid of the chain. I just want to upgrade to something built for the track... Besides, there will be no Red on the track bike... Thanks!

Well here's the update... Many hours spent again today in the garage but I'm lovin every minute! Only thing I could ask for is a buddy to help... That would help lesson the time it takes to break everything down. Here's some pics of how she sits tonight... Only have to remove the chain tomorrow to sell...

Hope you guys enjoy... She NAKED! :laugh Not much left...

Enjoy... :cheers

You know me Sherman, I'm not one to cut corners... Had to get me a compressor, a drop light, and some T-handles! You have no idea how much I wish I had my old T-handles during this teardown!

Had to get packing and all so my customers are happy too! Word of mouth will fund my build... Haha Going to start pricing around tomorrow. After I pack everything up!

I need some HELP though! I need some recommendations for race chains which will work with my Driven sprockets, as well as where to find a YEC-Flash. From what I'm told it's a good idea to do now...

Can you guys throw up some links... or should I just call RidersDiscount and see if they've got all this stuff on my list?

EK race chain? I mean I've got an EK 520 coming off... But getting rid of it because it's Red... I want to invest in a good race chain! I'm trying to invest in the longevity of this bike for the track!

For the shark fin go woodcraft. No tap and die needed for install.

Oh really? Think it's better? Does it stay on well also? Anyone have issues with Stompgrip coming off? I'd prefer to spend money on what will last!
