Default time for new sprocket and chain! post your pics if your aftermarket pimpn

I got a red silver 03 f4i, want to put a new chain sprocket kit on. Who do yal think I should go with. I am leaning towards just staying standard but if you think movn teeth is worth it please give your 2cents.

if you got pics of something your proud of post by all means, I am thinkin about getn all gold or all sliver so if you have a similar setup Id like to see what that would look like?

thanks in advance yal for the advice

This is what I have right now...

16/49 I would advise against it though because as you can see, the length of chain required to accommodate a 49t sprocket forces the chain adjusters all the way out. It's really bugging the hell out of me, but my cheap side won't let me replace it yet.

No, thats what drives me crazy about it. It is just barely not long enough to take a link out. I'm going to check again soon to see if maybe it has stretched enough to take a link out.

So... if you put the chain adjusters all the way in, you still can't take a link out? It seems to me that there is more than a link worth of adjustment there from one extreme to the other...

Trust me, there isn't enough room to take a link out. Keep in mind that a link consists of 1 inner and 1 outer link. With the adjusters all the way in I still need about .25 inch more to take a link out. It's really frustrating.

I ordered another master link to give it another try but I ordered the wrong one so now I have to order the right one and wait for it to come in. A clip style master link would make this far easier but I just don't trust them.
