I just put a Penske on my 03 last November with RaceTech 1.1 kg springs up front. I have pictures step by step somewhere... I should post them up.

I finally got around to removing the pair valve selenoid and using block off plates that I purchased long ago.

So far... I'm very happy with the results. It idles much smoother... with no "clickity clack" that a motorcycle mechanic erroneously told me was crank shaft noise from having 55k miles on the odometer. That BS has been solved. No more exhaust popping during deceleration in low gears... which has always annoyed me and was the main reason for me doing the mod in the first place. Plus, I just don't like having useless crap on my bike... it can join my EVAP canister at the junk yard.

Altogether I give it this mod two thumbs up...

A shift light setup like this would also be cool... I'm too busy to start any new projects though.

I have the black aluminum vortex on my 02 VFR. I installed it a couple of weeks ago and love it. It is a 45T and along with the 15T front, her acceleration is much better.

As far as longevity, I know the steel lasts longer, but I don't use my bike for touring. I bought it cuz it looks sweet and sporty, and is more comfortable than a sportbike. (I only put about 1000 to 1500 miles on her a year - short rides).

So if the sprocket lasts me 4 or 5+ years, I feel I got my 50 dollars worth.

I got the Vortex from indysuperbikes.com. I know there are other places that sell them too, but they were on sale when I bought them. Still should only cost you about $50.

Looks good wooly. I like the brake line bracket you made, looks familar. I see you ditched the center stand to.

Here is a pic of the Stealth 45T on my ride.
