Let me know how they work out for you. We've used this manufacturer before and they have worked out great for us.

Scruffy said:Heavy duty chain and sprocket on my bike are from the 1970s, either 530 or 630 series chain... monster heavy for a 50 year old 250... the chain should forge out into some gorgeous Damascus steel knife blades (about all it is good for anymore even though it rolls smoothly)... and the sprockets are still in great shape.
Any chance they'll make a seriously stepped down set for the really old/under powered bikes? Like 420 or 428 chain stuff? 520 on a 250 is still overkill... and a serious power robber on Lisa's 100 beater bike.
I'll have to get the counts off mine to double check, but I think I have a stock count front and 42 tooth rear on the CL72, looks like a hay elevator drive sprocket... ???
o1marc said:Couple of questions.
First, what are the front sprockets made of, your post doesn't say (you may want to edit that)? I still don't see a kit for the CB400F
Have you actually measured the weight difference between like sized 530 and 520 and what is the weight difference?
Did you ever mention the manufacturer of these kits or are you keeping that secret?
I would be interested in a set that has a 39 tooth rear for a CBR600 and a 17 tooth front for a CB400F.
how much would that be?
neevo said:I'm also replacing the chain sprockets on my CB400F at some stage and would appreciate a heads up in the price. Do you offer the chain in gold links too?
Evorussell said:From glancing at my set, front sprocket is steel w/some kind of plating
Cant help you with an ounce for ounce measurement because I tossed my old chain way early, but the weight of the sprockets is significant even in the hand (cant find my old fishing scale)
I actually called the sprocket manufacture he is using, and he sells these kits for less than you can buy a set of 530s from them, if you count in the cost of the chain he includes. My rear sprocket is stamped "rebel gears"
o1marc said:I was being facetious when I asked what the fronts were made of. I can't believe no one else caught the mistake in your OP. You need to edit this line:
"All REAR sprockets are case hardened steel and REAR sprockets are made from Aluminum and CNC machined."
Can you get what I need? rear sprocket in a CBR600 and a front for the CB400f?
teazer said:I don't think that the fronts are CASE hardened. They may or may not be induction hardened or any other hardening technique but case hardening is a process for things like gear shafts and creates a very hard surface with a high carbon content but leaves a softer core. They would flake if they were case hardened.
