Checking out Öhlins and RaceTech, and I’m surprised that some of what they sell are more affordable than what I was expecting. The Öhlins KA 143 Street S36 twin shocks for example, are only $839, the RaceTech G3S custom shocks are only $800 for the non-piggyback version.

Ooohhh... necroposting.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with JT Sprockets. They are less expensive than OEM from what I've gathered, and seem to offer a ton of configurations for drivetrain sprockets.

I've been running JT sprockets on most of my bikes for years .
Their catalogue with detailed pics and measurments is very good for cross referencing and finding alternative sprockets from other machines for 530 conversions etc if they exist .
They are pretty much the only aftermarket sprocket brand i use ( except for Talon or Kosman etc for front offsets ) and never had any problems with the fit or quality.
I usually only use DID chain though.
JT have fairly recently started selling their own branded chains but i gather they are sourced from elsewhere ( Thailand ) and have read a lot of bad reviews regarding quality so i'm steering clear of them for now..

We've been running JT sprockets on our '93 CB750 Nighthawks & a few of our Z1's for a long time.  They fit & wear fine.
