I was purchasing a Combo #2 until I saw the $75 shipping charge to Canada.
Us Canadians always get left out of the great deals.

I would still be all over it if the shipping to Canada was less. Any chance?

*BUMP* for the final few hours it looks like for anyone else who is interested. The ordering link still works for now.@talanthalus - Perfect! I see the order that you put through, thank you very much. I updated my Post #55 to include your name as well.
The group buy was originally closing Friday with 10 or more people, and we were going to process all of the orders first thing Monday. Since this is the case, I will leave this open until Sunday night at the latest in case any of the stragglers wanted inThanks again!
The link still works as of now atleast:

Thanks again to everybody who participated, and if you have any ideas on more group buy items in the future shoot me an email and I can see what we can cook up for all of you
Just a quick recap of my race weekend on my R6 at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, I got taken out by another rider in WARMUP. He tried to pass close on the inside, and low-sided right into my bike. I went to the ER with a ground up foot (on the ball of the foot), came back to the track barely able to walk, got the bike fixed up for Sunday's races and took a 5th in Superstock Middleweight and 2nd in Formula Middleweight. Didn't go as well as I thought, but overall it was fun, it just sucks crashing especially when it's not your fault.
@Derek - I'm sorry about the shipping charges. It is automatically calculated per item weight, and these chain and sprocket kits are pretty heavy. It is exactly the cost we pay with the USPS for shipping to Canada.

Ah, bad news! I'm kind of having a bad day today!!!
Well, before the group buy Tyler got on the phone with Driven to make sure they will be able to supply the demand and they confirm him that they had all the sprocket in stock.
There story has change. They are in short supply of the 46T rear sprocket. Waiting list is around 45 days or so.
So here's some numbers for you.
@ 70 MPH:
16/46 = 6500 RPM
17/46 = 6100 RPM
17/47 = 6300 RPM
16/47 = 6650 RPM
So 17/47 is kind right in the middle.
Personally I'm fine with a 17/47. That will give me a bit more acceleration and still bring the rpm down a bit.
Tyler feel really sorry about this and I understand that it's out of his control too. He said that regardless if people don't want the 47T rear or not he will respect the group buy event if some of us might want to get out of the deal.
If some of you don't mind maybe Tyler can look out for a standard 46T instead of a light one, or aluminum.
You guys let me know who's still in or not.

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't mind waiting the 45 days for the rear sprocket only cause my bike only has 3,600 miles on it..... I was only getting it right now cause of the group buy, and the fact that its black. I'm personally more worried about the front sprocket and chain. I'm sure Tyler wants to ship it all together to minimize shipping costs tho. If he wouldn't mind separating them than that would be cool for me. Otherwise I will think of something else.
