Here's my sprocket - do you think its time for replacing? the teeth look a little worn. maybe I'm just being crazy?

I purchased the bike with those on it, changing it properly would be changin the FRONT and REAR sprocket and a new chain correct?

yep, and if you have even considered changing the gearing just to try it out right now would be a good time. How much was the back protector? its the only piece of gear i lack, i have been looking ather pieces but i have never seen this one just to put t into cosideration.

the back protector is actually out of production, but everyone I've spoken with SWEARS by this one, I was lucky to find it. I picked it up for about 150 shipped from http://www.speedwerks.com I believe they have a few left. They are the cheapest online, kneedraggers has them for 200 as does every other place. The guy I spoke with at Speed Werks said he crashed into a wall at a very high speed at Road Atlanta. He went back first, and was knocked out for a few minutes, but was able to walk away with out sustaining any injuries, just a sore body the next day.

I guess since I have the 520 chain, and I'm used to it, I'll go with the same set up. Any recommendation on brands of sprockets and chains?

I got the same back protector. And yes, they are discontinued. Teknic is coming out with a different style.

Nice levers! I've got a pair on my SuperChicken, too.

You do know it's bad form to leave your kickstand down while the bike is on a rear stand, right?

yeah - I'm researching tonight for a new front and rear sprocket and chain, and order my brake pads today.

this weekend will be the lever and oil change install - hopefully get some good riding in on saturday if hte weather is really 58 degrees.

thanks for all the compliments. I'm stoked for my first track day
