I was finding info on new chains and my options surrounding the situation. Of course D.I.D. is very popular. I also found a product called 'Driven Racing'. The products looked really nice...

Maybe a 520 conversion w/ a black, yellow, red chain + sprocket.
BTW my bike is a Yellow 04 Svs w/ black accents, and red SS lines.
What do you guys think?
i did a little bit of research into chains with my mates at crescent and they said that for a bike making as much power as the sv, theres no point in getting a 520 conversion as the weight you save wont make any difference, they're desinged for the gsxr's/r1's/blades/etc etc.
changing the colour of the chain doesnt make any difference so you might as well go with your favorite colour or whatever you think looks best on your bike.
if you get a new rear sproket make sure you change the chain and front sproket as well (ideally you want to change all three if you change any one - that make sense?) as otherwise you will be working worn metal and new metal together and they will wear out super fast. manufacturers i would recomend for sprokets are renthal and talon (possible afam but maybe not)
chain manufacturers are DID or DC chains
on the subject of brakes, if you want to uprate your brakes a bit, rather than getting ss lines that are only going to strengthen, not improve, your existing brakes, i would spend a little more and get a new master cylinder as it will push more fluid down the hoses and make you stop faster, the brembo cylinders are nice. order i would go would be, new cylinder, new calipers/pads, new lines, new rotors (then more new pads for new rotors)
this is just what i would probably do and which manufacturers i would choose, but ultimately its up to you
hope it helps
