Here is an EK 525 set with stock gearing set on ebay. If you want the 15 tooth front, they have it available.

I honestly didnt even think to look on ebay. Thanks alot. Ill be ordering that kit next week. Oh a little issue though. The chain align ment thing on the swing arm is missing on one side. Its only a sticker but its an important sticker. Anyway way making sure things are straight and true? Can i measure it on both sides to get it right? Thanks. This stuff is all new to me. Im pretty good when it comes to cars but bikes im just about lost.

Another option is geting an RK XSO Gold X-Ring chain for $103 shipped from ebay HERE.
You can also get sprockets at a bunch of different places. Moto superstore has the JT steels for like $62 shipped.

You'll need a chain breaker/rivet tool if you don't already have one if you want to rivet the masterlink in. You also may want to check sprocketcenter .com

And yeah, you can measure up the rear from the axle to the swingarm pivot or you could even still use the marks on the adjusters and measure each side.

Yeah, that's a good kit. I was just half through typing my response when the wife wanted to go out to dinner...

And yeah, the x-ring is the latest and greatest. The idea is that an X ring seals in the grease and everything else out like this: lXl ... it has 2 sealing surfaces.
The O ring seals the grease in like this: lOl .... only 1 sealing surface.
