This 30 tooth APE cam sprocket will allow us to use the cb200 cam in the cb175 engine. How this came about is we were searching for the kawasaki 900 idler sprocket to replace our idler per Michael Moore's How to Build A 160 Racer and stumbled upon the 30 tooth sprocket for the 900 on one of the Ape race site.

Those are great sites. I've been using Metalshapers for a while.Texasstar said:

if i was mounting that sprocket i would machine the register down a bit in diameter making dead sure the cam journals are dialed in
then shrink fit a ring and machine to fit
then finally verify that the sprocket has perfect as possible concentricity
you could machine a .020" wall thick ring without turning down the cam as well
but the important part is verifying in the end that the sprocket is dead nuts concentric

Texasstar said:fit is good they are pliable when new. We have used them on lucky, charis, and Victoria . They will fit 18mm and 20mm Keihin carbs and the baby hawk 160 22mm carbs. There are also other air boxes on smaller Hondas you can find. Teazer turned us on to these and the first airbox we grabbed of the top of the bathroom at our motorcycle bone yard was a 750 airbox. They also did really well on the Dyno and you can fit foam filters over them. This pix is from my wife's cb200 you can also paint them with plastic paint.

What foam filters did you find that fit? I was looking at these but certainly there's something better out there.

We tried using a silicon bronze 90% cu rod with the dip in flux technique and it was next to impossible for us to get it to fillet or flow. I suppose that is why it is used with TIG where you have better heat control? Is the low fuming bronze rod they sell really bronze or is it brass? It has a 60% cu content but it flowed like honey on a biscuit. Will paint adhere to the low fuming bronze rod? We checked out SIF http://www.weldability-sif.com/media/sif_tips/sif_tips_06_sifbronzing_technique.pdf and they said we need to use a 60% cu content with our oxy rig. Zeke is about to go to TIG summer school lol!
