What color chain and sprocket should I get?

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?

Re: What color chain and sprocket should I get?

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

Re: What color chain and sprocket should I get?

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.
