Default Chain and sprockets for K7S - what sizes?

Ok - I'm fitting new chain and sprockets but am having some trouble locating the right kit.

The kits available on the interweb are saying either: 15front, 45rear and 110 link chain (unfaired) or: 15front, 44rear and 108 link chain (faired) - 114 link chain for ABS.

My bike is a K7 650s faired model and has the original chain and spocks and they are 15front, 45rear and 108 link chain but this kit doesn't seem to be available - it's either a 44rear with 108 link chain or 45rear with 110 link chain...

what gives...?

i thought faired was 44t, (04 model is anyway)

anyway- i had 44 rear 15 front 108 link chain, got 46 sprocket, got 112 link chain but had to take a link out as to long) ( with a 46 rear the reccomened lenght (jhs racing said) is 110 link,

therefore if i was you i would just order the 110 link chain, 45 rear, it will go on not a problem,

i do have a 108 520 pitch iris gold chain going cheap if its of any intrest to you (id expect would be fine with a 45t rear), brand new, still in box, box bit tatty,, ( £60 posted),

Your are right, from K7 on the S has 15:45. There don't seem to be kits available, but you could always get the parts seperately or go iwth the 15:44 kit which will raise you gearing a little bit.
I am now running 16:45 on my K7 whihc has made it more relaxing on m-ways but take away a bit of the acceleration.

Thanks Teabag, I wasn't going crazy then! I have asked the supplier of the kit to substute the 44 for a 45 which he was weary of doing - it's obvious that the suppliers need to update there kits to allow for K7 on models.

thanks for replies people...
