New chain etc

[Whealie]

Fast response needed. If I want to change the chain then I might as well do the job properly and change the sprockets.
Thinking of doing it this weekend so just posted this in the Working Bee threqad in the met ups section:

So, thats chain and sprockets as in:

Is this a good price? Is this what I need. Should I be trying Wemoto and Dave Silver. Will they deliver before Saturday?
Will post in the @ section too.

Answers please. What should I buy and where's best?

I got mine from here: http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/products.asp?id=54

With the extra heavy duty X-ring chain.

Seems OK so far.

Got that one as well, it's DID's finest with JT sprockets
Really well made and soft-link with tubular link-ends is very easy to rivet (provided you've got a rivetting tool of course).

Got my new chain and sprockets from 'Busters' too. reasonable price and I have had no problems. (12 months old now). Don't know about delivery before Saturday. I think that is pushing it a bit.
I would recommend using the proper tool on the rivets.

Hmmn. Dave Silver would have had to order in a Honda kit for about £130. If I'd waited two weeks they could have imported one for £79.
Busters were very helpful. The DID Xring kit they had in stock to fit my bike was the Gold kit, so more expensive at £85 but, inlcuding next day delivery, just over £90. Had to do it on the phone so no XRV discount (that works on web orders only) but I should get it tomorrow.
Cheers for all the help everyone.

Just to let everyone know that Busters had it delivered before 9am Friday morning.

Yes, Busters are quick. I asked the day after the ordering where the order-confirmation was that I was supposed to receive by e-mail and 1 hour after the parcel was delivered

Wemoto is usually quite quick as well, which honestly can not be said of M&P in my experience: I've had more than once that stuff I'd ordered on-line was actually not in stock; no less than 2 weeks later only part of the order arrived with a kind of "pls try ordering the other items later" note. One time I'd ordered 4 items and in the end received only 1 (an £11 can of ACF50), still paying their minimum P&P rate of 10 quid

M&P is owned by the same bloke as Busters. He used to own MPS as well I think. I've had an outstanding order with both at the same time but couldn't get an answer on the phone from Busters. The lady on the M&P switchboard sorted out the Busters query too.
