Years ago there was always somebody advertising they made sprockets, in the back of most bike mags, made to pattern, drawing, template etc, but now I want one made I can't find anybody anywhere on the web. Anybody know anywhere that can do bike sprockets to order for a reasonable price?

I'm planning to get a smaller one made for the back of my Harley, as it vibrates like a jack hammer at 60mph, 3000rpm. I reckon about five less teeth on the back should see me hitting 70 before my fillings start falling out. biggrin

Careful if using B&C Express, they're fine if everything is OK but if a part fails or is faulty you'll have the devils own job getting them to sort it out or give you a refund.

Weird, literally three days ago I ordered myself a chain and sprocket set from those guys. Good price, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed I have no problems with them then.

The Renthall factory (used by B&C) is somewhere in Stockport, Bredbury perhaps (memory). Maybe you can deal with the factory direct and avoid problems going through middle man? Ah, found it....

Don't Harleys have a belt drive and therefore use a pulley, rather than a sprocket? nerd

Thanks, I'll give these guys a call, see what they say. Sounds a bit iffy going through B&C if they have that reputation.

The model after mine did, rubber band power. Mines definitely a chain.

This thing pulls like a tractor (don't say a word) at 60. Open the throttle in any gear, any speed, and it simply pulls the horizon towards itself, pleeenty of torque there. I don't understand why it is geared so low in the first place.
