I recently started working on my 71 CB450 and I think its time to replace my sprockets. The oem specs is 15t front and 35t back with a ratio of 2.333
I am also trying to changes into 520 sprockets and didn't had much luck 15t front sprockets (found 16t or 17t). On top of that I am also planning on putting 17in GS500 rims on the back and front.
My questions is should I just go with a 17t/40t option which will give me a ratio closest to stock at 2.3529 (my goal is to stay as close to stock gear ratios) or do I have to consider more factors in as I am going down in wheel diameter.
depends on the riding you are doing front sprocket on many hondas is same you should be able to find a 15 520 same as 15 520 on yours such as for an 74-78 xl350

well yes but you are taliking about small changes
17-18 is only an inch but maybe less maybe more depending on the tire profiles/aspect ratios
i think you should stick with stock gearing and if you want a bit more poke outta the hole you can go down 1 on the front
realistically will you be screaming around at 80mph or not ?
I'm looking for more top end for highway cruising and want my rpms a little lower at 65-80 mph... Anyone know of anywhere I can get some sprockets or if the cb750 has the same rear sprocket as the 450? There are more options available for that bike than mine.
