There's a whole lot of considerations we are missing.

Just a couple I can think of are the "EPA regs" that EBR tech mentioned where they needed to re-certify the Black Lightning simply for the rear sprocket change. .gov FTW...
the 520 chain uses less power to run, does EBR really care if it becomes a maintenance part with a slightly more frequent replacement schedule when they can advertise the hero HP numbers to sell bikes?
How about a quickshifter stock??? Obviously the stock ECM can handle the task as the '16-'17 bikes were enabled without the 'update' why not add the sensor that most every other superbike has? Because $550 more in their pocket is easier than adding it to the MSRP.
I agree they missed only a few small things on AN AMAZING ride. But it had to follow the .gov rules, fit every idiot that signed the contract, AND make the most sales and up sells it could. Sacrifices had to be made.
Another thing is is we have the gift of hindsight. These were being designed in 2012. Now, 5 years later it's the same exact bike when every other mfg has spent millions on redesigns and electronic packages and testing.
True, it is probably comparable to a circa 2010 superbike
Lol yeh metal ring isnt happening.
Have to get it made and it will cost stupid.
Why would it be expensive?? Either steel or 6061-7075 aluminum on a lathe for 5 mins is all it takes?
Because it's down under and people are backwards cooter, what do you want me to say lol.
Tried 3 different "companies/places".
So Whats the verdict on the JT sprockets so far? Any issues? Is Vortex still the go to? Looking to order a 44T.
My 43 JT is working fine on my bike, I have about 300 miles on it, with my quick shifter for what its worth. Thx to you .

I went ahead and ordered the JT 44T on Amazon, thanks for the input. I just wanted to make sure no one noticed any issues with the hub fitment. JTR1490 is the part number right?
