      Rivera Primo Game Changer Sprocket Kit for 2011 and up HD comps. It reduces the gear ratio from the stock 1.36 to a stouter, better pulling ratio of 1.44, by using a lower tooth count sprocket. The sprocket has a 32 tooth count and comes with a chain tensioner shoe that clamps to you stock tensioner shoe to take up the slack of the primary chain.
      I seen the kit at Roaders Racing yesterday and Im curious if anybody has tried one. it looks like it will be a nice alternative to changing the trans pulley and using the weaker non HD aftermarket belts.

I hate working on Saturdays....I always miss the good stuff...What was going on in Monroeville yesterday that you would come across an item like this? Or just happenstance?

The set of S&S cams I had in my bike was giving it a real rough idle on cold starts. I threw the Mackie 598's back in and had Bevin load my 598 tuning map. Im glad I went back to the 598's because that cam really Rocks and has great manners.
       Bevin showed me the new sprocket. What caught my attention was the sprocket spoke did not have the valley cast into it like the 2014 sprocket spoke does. In my opinion the 2014 comp. would be perfect if it did not have the valley in the spoke because that is what contributes to the 2014 version being a little louder then the previous version.

Looks like a better made piece than the stock unit....I never liked how rough the spokes are. Do you think going to this in a TBW bagger would mess with my cruise or 6th gear indicator? I use the SEPRT so no re-calibration of the speedo possible like the TTS.....

We about to find out how well this works.. nextweek ..Stay tuned

      Anybody know for sure if this unit will work on the 2014 comp. version. The cam ramps on the 2014 version are different then the previous.

I'd hope so Pat or they designed the replacement sprocket for an obsolete comp.

While researching I've found 2 part numbers I thought was odd, also it looks like some come with a chain and some don't?........   

One is for 2007-2013's and the other is for 2014 and newer .

 I received my sprocket and shoe for the adjuster today, however.. no chain?..

Looks like the original version came with the shorter chain and was discontinued. It was replaced by the one you have that includes the thicker shoe and uses the stock chain over.

Disregard this post.

According to rivera and the MPN you ordered, it don't come with a chain..

Didn't say the advertising wasn't wrong..  You can't knock 2 teeth off one sprocket and expect to use a shorter chain.. Need to drop it to  30 teeth..

Ummmm,...ahhhh .. yes it do.. they messaged me today , apologized and said they sent one out today..   Kudos to the vendor!!

A chain? 

Why yes Max , I believe that was the Item in question?  The ad clearly stated Sprocket , Shoe, and Endless primary chain.. The rep stated that " a primary chain" was shipped to me today..

Wow nice...... Let me know how you like it asap. for that price and comes with a chain you can't go wrong ..... Did you get the 2014 version or the earlier version? if you got the 2014 how do the spokes look, do they have a channel cast in them.
