Thats awesome.
Guns are my first love and bikes came soon after. People ask why don't you play golf or pool. Mainly because there is zero risk doing those things. You feel alive shooting 900 rpm or upshifting at 15000 rpm. Both guns and bikes demand respect and focus. 1 miscue and its game over.

AEM QC Sprocket setup
I wanted to dress it up a bit and save some weight. I decided to get all components from the same company to avoid any potential alignment/fitment issues. I went with stock gearing to keep the ride-ability .
Here are the parts:
AEM Ti Cush drives
AEM Sprocket
AEM Flange
TI Hardware
EK 520GP chain
Afam front sprocket
I cleaned all the factory chain wax off
Before
After
Here's the tech data
Weight in grams
Stock front sprocket 253g
Stock rear sprocket setup 2232g
Stock chain 114 links 2180g
Total 4665g/10.27lbs
Afam front sprocket 219g
AEM rear sprocket setup 1227g
EK 520GP chain 114 links 1723g
Total 3169g/6.98lbs
Savings of 1496g/3.29lbs

That is very nice STEALTH Contrasting Color HKMP7, I can't wait to see the "AFTER" picture when you installed them.

Ups, I guess, I reply to your thread too fast
It really flows and match your Black Rear Set with enough Gold and Titanium Silver Contrast (which your rearset also have very nice contrasting Silver bolts on it)
Very nice choice.

Honestly the bike was silly fast before and it’s still silly fast. I could however feel the difference in resistance moving the bike around the garage. Got them from local shop.

Nice rear end mate. Drill a few more holes in that front sprocket and you can get a few grams out of it.

Chain clean up
After installing the chain and putting some miles on it so I can readjust it. I got some chain sling from the factory wax that I missed. Here's how I protect the exhaust and wheel.
On the exhaust cans I used a high temp paste wax that is rated to 250 deg. This will aid when removing chain wax or dirt.
This is after the first ride. Why is this stuff so sticky geez.
I only use this product on Ti exhaust. Its basically the "old" formula plexus.
After
I use this to keep the wheels clean and matte.
