Where to get sprockets for old Hondas?
« on: October 13, 2011, 06:15:09 PM »
I've got a 73 cb175 that I need sprockets for, but I don't know where to look online for aftermarket sprockets. Anyone know if most/all Hondas use the same bolt pattern? I can order OEM if need be, but the prices are a little ridiculous.

This may be the place to ask. Or keep up the flea-bay searching.

I've got a few or maybe just two old/new sprockets around. I think they might be for a 350 twin, but similar enough to 350f if not the same, maybe they are adaptable to anything.  They are NOS with no wear and no indication they have ever been installed. Not sure how many teeth, both [of the three ] are maybe originally meant for a twin 350.

Honestly i'm not sure what they are, I have at least two I can dig out and take pics of , and if you are patient, might take a week but I will dig and send pic if you PM me. They are here somewhere. 

Other than that I might forget I ever posted this.

The CB350 twins & the CB350/4OOF's all take the same rear sprockets...does any body have a nearly new(very low miles) 35 tooth ?
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

JT Sprockets makes a 16 tooth front and 39 tooth rear for your bike. Actually, they make the 38 rear too, but no place seems to stock it. Any bike dealer can order these for you through places like Western Powersport, Tucker/Rocky, etc. You need JTF 264.16 and JTR 269.39 (.38 if you can find it). Or just Google those numbers, and see what comes up. The front should cost you around 10 bux, and the rear about 25. Here's a rear on Amazon.com for $19.  http://www.amazon.com/JT-Sprockets-Rear-Sprocket-JTR269-39/dp/B001AVOKAO

I like to point out in sprocket threads that unless you have a weird situation and know a single sprocket only has a couple hundred miles on it, that both sprockets and chain need to be changed at the same time.  An old chain with a new sprocket will wear out in less than half the time it should last.  The same with new chain and old sprocket.

Renthal are usually very expensive! JT or Sunstar are great quality and cost much less. If you ever come up with a model with no aftermarket application, try Sprocket Specialists. They will make to order any sprocket you need.

So Im in the same boat, but for a 72 750, and trying to find a good alternative to OEM

Been looking around and found some options. I like Z1 enterprises, they seem to be selling EMGO sprockets that are Equivalent to OEM and JT. Anyone had any experience with these?

Not a big fan of EMGO since their ignition switch melted.

I agree with the concept, keep good sprockets on new chains. But i think you can go 2 maybe 3 chains to a set of sprockets.

"Less than half the time" has not been my experience. More like 10-15% faster. Still cost effective.

But i wouldn't tell anyone who wanted to go 1 on 1 not to.
