OK. I've had a LOT of people calling me looking for a good usable rear sprocket for their 1925-1929 Harley JD. Mostly Cannonball guys but also guys just doing restoration. I'm tossing around the idea of making these in time for the race. I would make the 40 and 44 tooth for sure and maybe also the 48 tooth. I want to take a survey to see who would be interested and in how many and what tooth count people want. I also want to make sure that nobody else is making them. There was a guy selling them on ebay a few years ago, but it looked like he was turning them out of billet and they were quite expensive. I haven't seen them on the bay for years. V-Twin made (had made) some years ago, but they were total crap.
Lets hear it. Who wants what?
On another Sprocket topic, I just got my material today to make a run of the JD CLUTCH sprocket used on mid 1919 thru 1929. I've made these in the past, but sold out last fall. This is the dished sprocket that rivets to the clutch basket and inner bearing race. They will be done in 2-3 weeks. I have a list of people on a waiting list, but here again, speak up if you want one or more. I'm making 40 of them and about half are already spoken for.
For those of you who don't know, my REAL job is in the machining trade selling metal working tooling. My point is that I know about the proper materials and heat treating required on these parts.
I do all of my own work on my CNC lathe and mills. I job out heat treating (best left to the professionals), gear and sprocket tooth cutting (I don't have any gear equipment), Plating, and black oxide.
Speak up and convince me to make rear wheel sprockets!
