ASK FOR THEM BY NAME. PBI Sprockets Clackamas, Oregon 97015 MAD€ TOUGH! No other sprocket is like a PSI. You can tell the difference. Check the machining. PSI Sprockets are made from perfectly machined blanks, so the hub, spline and teeth are to exact specifications. Check the name. PSI Sprockets have the Signature stamped on the side. Look for it. Check perfonnance. Install the sprocket on your own machine, front and rear. Take to the road, the track or the rough. Feel the smooth, even perfonnance. That's a PSI Sprocket. Don't accept substitutes. 5
