I bow to your superior wisdom...
« on: January 23, 2010, 06:22:51 AM »
Does anyone know off hand if the front sprockets are interchangeable between a 400F and a CB500?

I have both bikes, the 500 is my stock daily rider and the 400 is still in the parts gathering phase.

I picked up a few aftermarket front sprockets for the 400 that are a few teeth less than stock and was wondering if anyone knew if they were usable on the 500 to get a little more low end grunt.

 I care nothing for top speed or sustained highway speed as they only see surface roads around town.

Thanks.
