Its time...
but I don't know what to buy or where to buy. Any help?

Okay I know a little...
I know I must get the front sprocket OEM as otherwise it might be to hard and damage the bike or some such.
I want to get one of those nice orange sprockets on the rear, where to buy? I would prefer not to pay R2500 for it though, any suggestions?

And then, I would like to drop either one teeth on the front sprocket or increase 3 on the rear. Which is advised? (front mod bad for chain life but rear increase will catch on rocks when the going gets tough?) I think I will be going for that 16T front.

Will this chain work? (Do I need a chain tool thingamagic as well or just a buddy rather that knows his stuff?)

this is the rear I would like, anyone stock it locally?
