Yes, 520 is lighter and cheaper.

It also wears out faster.

I guess the main reason is for the bling factor. I know I should get 20k easy on the stocker, but I'd like a better looking rear sprocket, carrier and hub. And while I'm doing that, might as well go for the lighter/cheaper option if not much strength and durability are sacrificed.

If you dont really take care of your chain and arent particularly harsh on your bike, im sure a 520 will do fine. i put 19k on the stock chain, lots of commuting. semi aggressive.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Not garbage - lubricating chicken grease. That's why his chain lasted so long waytogo

Hmm! I learnt something, so if I replace my rear 39 tooth with a 41 tooth at my 600mi service, no need to change out the chain. I mean if a chain can last 10 t0 12k miles, 600 miles is a piss in the pond! Now, question is cush drives will the stock ones fit a new carrier? I'm going to go with a quick change combo(sprocket and carrier), thanks and sorry for jacking the thread:)
