looking at changing the gearing on my bike, already decided to change to a 14T front and now looking at the rear should i spend the extra money for the carrier to save the weight . I'm happy with my bike and the way it handles, but for an extra 300 bucks i can have some weight....or just be happy and spend on a sprocket and spend money somewhere else.
has anyone done this on the same model as mine.
also some recommendations where to buy online.

I ran a 14 / 44 with a 520 DID EVR3 with a Fiam quick change rear for 15k mi. on my old S4R and have been running the same, but with a 43 rear for over 40k mi. on my S4RS and loved em.

Not that expensive really and definately lighter.

I might say do the 14t in the near term and set aside the cash for the carrier and such for when it comes time for a new chain and sprocket SET. Then you'll have the extra cash to go for the extra bling of the nice carrier, nice sprox and chain.

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

On an S4RS unless you're going to do a lot of urban riding there should be little reason to do either. 

If the throttle is snatchy or it stumbles off the line a little bit put on a FatDuc O2 Manipulator, a G2 throttle tube or both.
