Yes. I ordered it waaaaaaaaaaaay back on March 1st... And I'm still waiting for it... It looks really awesome, and will look really cool on my bike... This thing LOVES black parts... The more I bolt on, the more I like the bike! I saw (read) that you seem to be going down the same path of the dark-side like I did with mine, with all those black parts you ordered... FYI, I also bought the headlight bezel/ring in black... It's straight off of the T-120 'Black' bikes, and is the exact same piece that's on our bikes, just black... And it's surprisingly only $32 bucks... Oh, did you ever read the PM I sent you like almost a week ago now?!?! (It's probably too late now anyway. So just read it, kick yourself in the asss for not noticing it earlier, and then delete it.) Ha!

Sorry cuffs, all my email notifications were going into junk after I did the latest iOS update...I've rectified that now, ( I hope ) ....tried to get on website and its down for maintenance presently.....soon as I can get on il let you know.
I'm adding some black, but not sure how far it will go....I do like the contrast of the brushed and black....my dealer offered to let me decide if I like the intake covers once they arrive....if I'm not into it they will re sell them
@SirCuffsalot what is the benefit of this thing? Looks and lighter? I would prefer a black or darker sprocket on my bike too. Actually, I am regretting going with aluminum silver. I initially wanted black and now I am blacking out everything lol. I guess a silver tank with everything else black/brown will still look good.

Honestly, it's just for looks... For those that like to justify throwing $90 bucks in the street just for looks, by validating the purchase with benefits or performance facts... (Like I do, when my friends make fun of me for always buying stuff for this bike.) Well here are the 'facts'... It's 11% lighter than the stock sprocket... And rather than being one solid piece of heavier steel (like ours), this one is 2 pieces... The inner piece that bolts to the rear hub is aluminum for weight saving... While the outer piece is made of steel to keep the strength in the teeth so they don't get filed down over time, like an all aluminum sprocket could do.
Actually, the stock steel ones the Thruxtons come with are a 42t... Just like the aluminum accessory one... And so-on with the T-120's(37t) & Street Twins(41t).
For argument's sake... The tooth count is stamped on the outside of the stock sprockets as well.
Yea I noticed that on bandit some time ago researching whether or not the S and R used the same ratios. Both said 45T. I was like, yea that ain't right lol.
