Who made the one you have? Esjot? Think I got lost on how you got one but cannot get more.

These articles should answer your questions! Show some compassion! Jimmy, please excuse this Austin Hipster! LOL!
Maybe you could use an adaptor like this.
A large production run of these in 16, 17 and 18 tooth sizes was done years ago as part of the Buell race program. When Buell was shut down, EBR took over race-specific parts, while HD was left Buell OEM/street parts. These came over to EBR.Quote:

The reason the part number turned out to be a goose chase is race parts for EBR aren't distributed by Parts Unlimited, only street parts are. So, basically, what I need exists, it exists in quantity, and it's owned by a guy from New Jersey who had a couple of million lying around to buy EBR out of receivership. I gotta wait until he comes back on line and gives me a way to order them, apparently. Or, get them from Esjot directly.
It's nuts, I tell you.
I'd be more than happy to see what it would take for them to supply. If they've made them before it's a simple matter of putting them on order. If they need to custom make them it would be best if you could send me a used example so we get it right the first time. Please note that we've had some 40t rears on order since February so as I hinted above, patience will be required.Quote:

Yes their motor's make less power, but the bikes weigh a hell of a lot more though. No it won't be cheap, but it is an option.
Also, as long as the splined section is in good shape you could just cut the worn out sprocket off and TIG weld on a good one. Again, an option.
