Need chrome rear wheel & sprocket

[Alberts46]

By any wild chance would someone have a rear Rt wheel and sprocket in chrome or know where to get one very quickly. Seems the best turnaround on getting these chromed is 4-6 weeks.

I'd love to do the same thing. I'm interested if anyone has done it and what the costs were also.

 

[Alberts46]

I have quotes for both pieces between $550 to $750.

There WAS one on EBay; you might want to take a look for it...

Thanks, I had checked eBay before posting. Just looked again, no go.

BRP should offer these two parts as an available accessory. I think a chrome wheel and my black sprocket would look good.

:agree: It would look good... :thumbup:
But is there enough of a market to jsutify it? :dontknow:

Please keep in mind that they've only got two bikes in the lineup, with chrome Front wheels... :shocked:

But I sure would like one also... nojoke

I would like to add a few more comments, but first let me say not bashing BRP as I would not have ordered a 2014 if I was not really impressed with the RT.

FIRST: The Limited is all chromed out, why a black rear wheel and sprocket? Reminds me of seeing a car with chrome wheels running with the spare tire. Obviously they just have the same wheel and sprocket on all the bikes. Makes sense on the other bikes that have the front wheels in black and all the chrome is brushed.
SECOND: The new heated comfort seat, the heat connects to the existing heated grip switches front and rear. I can tell you plenty of times I don't want the seat heated, just the grips. Yesterday here in Florida was a perfect example, I used the grips all day, the seat when we started out and then just grips. I will have the dealer wire it to its own switch. Not sure why they would they did it this way, the switch is not that expensive. Also, for the price should have an optional fuel door. If they offered this they would probably take some business from Corbin and Ultimate. I am having my seat person install one.
THIRD: The new backrest, no adjustment, if they are going to offer something that is offered by other companies, why not at least make it comparable particularly for what they charged for it.

Again, love my 2011 RT and sure I will love the 2014. I try and support the manufacturer by purchasing their options.

A Black rear wheel may heve been felt to do a better job of hiding brake and belt dust...
If you don't need a heated seat; don't buy one...
There's always Ultimate or Corbin if you need a backrest that adjusts...
...Not bashing...just sayin'...
