GT750 520 Front Sprocket?

Post by Blokhead »

Does anyone know where to get a good 16 tooth 520 front sprocket for a GT750? PBI only goes up to 15.

This is the same as a 83- 86 Kaw KX500.

I tried to order a Titanium I sprocket from Krause racing (Made To Order Sprockets
Krause Racing / Sidewinder Products can custom engineer and produce any type and size sprocket
you can dream up.), and got this reply;

"Dean,
Our best bet is the carbon steel for$30.00"

There Titanium I front sprocket that I want, starts at $70.00, and goes up from there. So, a custom one is probably $100 , but they want to sell me a plain old carbon steel $30 one? I really despise companies like this.

I just read their web site and I see rear Titanium sprockets but I didn't notice any fronts in Ti.

What am I missing?

The front has a lot more load on each tooth than the rear, plus I'm going to a 520 which means its narrower, so even more load. I really don't want a standard front sprocket to prematurely wear out my expensive 520 O-ring chain


TZ,

Click on the Titanium I box;

Standard size fronts….$69.99
Standard size rears…..$139.99
Custom sizes from 10-122 teeth…..Call for quote
Krause Racing's Sidewinder Products
Ti-Moly Titanium Sprockets


If you click on the custom sprockets box, check out his little video. Apparently I'm not worthy of a custom sprocket even though I asked for one from the "House of custom sprockets". He probably even chucked after reading my emails :roll:

That's what I missed. Why is it that company name sounds familiar? Di i read a customer complaint about wrong parts being delivered? Wasn't that on here somewhere or is my memory playing tricks on me again
