all FZR 600 side fairings are the same

DID Gold Kit is the best in my book -have one with less than 500 miles for sale too -cheap

The vortex kits are fine as long as you have your rear wheel reasonably straight and enough slack in the chain. All I've ever done is eyeball the wheel and I have virtually no wear on my rear sprocket after 3,000 miles or so. The gearing change with -1/+2 makes the bike a lot more pleasurable. The only reason I might not suggest it is if you do a lot of highway travel.

I got the vortex kit and pushing 142 rwhp with no worries.If its not adjusted to tight and maintained they are good.Very light and chain has higher specs than the 530 for ability to last.The fzr600 kit is lower spec chain than the 1000 but they will upgrade for you if you request it.

I've had no issues with my Vortex on either one of my FZRs or my 05 GSXR 600. Like Mossy, I do some track time, so it has been put through some torture.

Most people who have issues with them, don't take properly clean and maintain their chain and sprockets.

Other good options are Supersprox, Sunstar and PitBull sprockets.
