gotchya, my rear is aluminum, but my front is steel. will that matter?I've had very good luck using the DID 530ZLS on my FJ1200. It lists as having 10,520 lbs T.S. The last one did over 20k miles on the street. I also always use steel Sunstar sprockets. Yes, they do cost a bit more then the lesser chains and sprockets, but my bikes are worth it.
