Your thread is a bit confusing to start with, as your first post has no link or other info to help us with your question :rolleyes:

2nd one is a good price, although I won the same one on ebay for £39, but that was a poor listing.

I know Lozzo posted up that he didn't like DID chains, but mines been fine since I fitted it.

I've fitted both brands and I can't say I've had any problems with either.

Depends on your regular milage and how well you look after your chain.

The DID is an X ring chain, so its a good quality chain.

The first kit has Hard Anodised Sprockets , not a fan myself , you can give B and C Express a ring and order the same kit for the same money but you get JT carbon Steel Sprockets which will last longer in my opinion .

I have Renthal sprockets front and rear and they seem to be good and are light. I don't do a massive amount of mileage so the wear hasn't really come into it so far. I also went for the tsubaki chain and this again is very good. B & C also do a race kit with +1 on the rear and -1 on the front. I wish i'd have got that one!

X ring =/= good quality

No opinion needed, they just will :)

I would go steel sprockets. Performance gain with alloy sprocket is TINY!

Spend it somewhere it will matter, like on shock, fork or tyres.

That will actually make you faster.

Tis true! Wish I could afford a new shock!

GSXR/ZXR ones are cheap enough
