Hey you guys I need to know what kind of sprocket to get. It has to be 43T and 1/8" teeth. It also has to be very strong(sprocket chunk style none of this machined weak crap). If possibible it should come in black. It does not have to have bash guard holes(i'm running a whipperman so i don't need one). It can not be 44T because I have seat stay brake mounts and with my whipperman on my sprocket it would rub on the brakes, my 43T now only barely misses the brakes. I was thinking about the Primo pro CNC or the T-1 Gower power sprocket. Do you have any ideas on what to get?

Pick any of the decent 43 tooth sprockets on www.danscomp.com - Any of the aluminum ones will last you a little while, but sprocket teeth will snap off no matter what you run if you are landing hard and sliding on the sprocket.
A sprocket guard is still stronly recommended if you are going to be coming down on your sprocket just to help alleviate chain wear, bike stress, and overall wear and tear on your ride.
The DK grind chainwheel for 50 bucks includes both and is available as a 43t.
Kink has some black 43t for 9 bucks (yes - $9.00) each - I would pick up 2 or 3 if you are worried about sprocket life.
Sprocket guards are also available separately if you get sick of the overweight chain and go back to a good 410 chain and want something to protect it.

I have the Kink OG and it bent prety within 3 hours of my first session with it. I was just doing a fast febel on this box and I slide out to the side I grind on and did a sprocket slide for a few seconds and thats all it took. And I have a Whipperman chain so i'm not worried about my chain at all. Thanks for your input though, i'll have to check out the DK sprocket.

Bash guards help to strengthen the sprocket. They are there as much to protect the sprocket as they are there to protect the chain. Any decent aluminum sprocket guard should really help to make grinds smoother and faster, while increasing the overall strength of the sprocket as well.
The chain then also happens to be protected so you can go down to a lighter chain, while still increasing the overall strength of your ride.

I have the street guard for it but it didn't seem to help.
