Red face Help w/ good brand sprocket combo

ok so im in way over my head or at a loss. ive been out of the cbr game for over 9 months due to being in the military. My bikes been sitting at the wifes parents house because of it and im here stationed in germany while it sits in the states. i finally have a chance to bring it over with me for free so thats what im gonna do i believe. ive talked with a member on here about getting parts and he directed me to a good couple of websites. but whats a good chain and sprocket combo to buy? the one that i know of in the past is still around but i read some shady reviews on the guy. one from a guy that says his front sprocket from Drivesystemsusa.com failed on him and he ended up paying alot of coin to fix his bike. and the other thread i read is from someone saying that the company never took his money out of his account so he canceled buying his sprocket set. link is below for the bmw... anyone know a good company to go with for a sprocket set?


edit
nevermind this computer im using seems to not want to paste the link but if you search for the company it has atleast two reviews that i know of that are not so good. idk if it should detour me from buying a sprocket set from them

Many of us use Sprocket Center for our chain & sprocket needs.

I would stay away from the 520 conversions and aluminum rear sprockets unless you're racing. They wear very quickly and I am sure you want the chain to last as long as possible. In terms of chains to go for, DID is great. RK and EK are fine when in a pinch.

I know about the aluminum sprockets. The 520 conversion on the website uses a steel sprockets. If not then 525 it is
