Anyway it seems like people really like pazzos...gonna have to check them out. Also how long roughly are a chain and sprockets supposed to last. Some harley guy I met last night asked me why I already needed a new chain and sprockets on an 05 bike?
That would be me

I got 17,500 or so out of my stock chain and sprockets. Replaced with the same or better quality steel sprockets, you should get the same- depending on maintenance, of course.

As for Harleys most of them travel farther on a trailer or under a service tech than anything. My bike is an '07 with close to 20,000 miles- all of which I put on and did my own maintenance. Buy your own tools, and if you stay in the sport long enough, you save tons of money and help a lot of people.
