12 t Large Taper

Good day folks...
Thought I'd post this request again.
Anyone have a NOS or decent used 12t large taper c/s sprocket they'd like to sell?

Cheers...Richard

Rich , I'm the guy who sold you the 11 tooth one from ebay. Jay from Moroney's H-D.

Jay...got it yesterday. It's on the 125WR...thanks!
Need a 12 for the 250 Cross...any sitting around the shop, fallen behind a an old workbench loaded with old shovelhead parts???

i'll look around for ya !

no good Rich, I have one more 11t and thats been listed on ebay. sorry Bud !

Sorry I just purchased the last one they had, but I would check out site on occasion as they randomly get stuff back in stock. Waited 5 months for the rod kit to my 360, worth the wait though. Site has pay pal, currency converter (British site), and a chart for shipping costs. They are great about responding back to emails.

We are having some made soon in 11 / 12 & 13 t. Also, we will be adding the full range of small spline husky sprockets...

Hope this helps!

Andy.

Good luck...I purchased the next to last one he had, but it was shipped in a simple envelope and fell out somewhere between there and here!
Hope your shipment has a bit sturdier packaging.

Honestly have had nothing but good luck with them. Being as the sprockets are getting hard to come by I am considering having a couple machined for backups.

www.hva-factory.com are having all of them made as we speak...

Andy, I ran across a random thing the other day. On eBay someone had a 16t sprocket for large tapered shaft husky. Is this false info, and if not how much does it affect bottom end and what do you gain at top end? Say for instance on a 71 360.

you need to ask spock as it would be approaching the speed of light

Good answer!!!

I have no idea, but I will set my fazer on 'stun'.

11 / 12 & 13 tooth tapered sprockets should be with us tomorrow...

I will list them when I have taken the pictures.

Going up more than 1 or 2 teeth on the counter shaft sprocket will absolutely kill your bottom end. The only bikes I would put that large a counter shaft sprocket on are 500cc 2 strokes or open class 4 strokes.
Back in 1990 I raced the SCORE Parker 400 on my 1987 510 TX Husky. Knowing the course was very fast with 100 mph fire roads I fitted a 17 tooth counter shaft sprocket to the bike. At the silghtest whisper of a head wind the bike would fall off the pipe and would not wind out 6th gear.
Large counter shaft sprockets suck too much power out of the engine. If you are looking for more top end leave the counter shaft sprocket about stock and drop teeth off the rear wheel sprocket. Racer's rule of thumb is 1 tooth on the front equals 4 to 5 teeth on the rear.

its a trap all right. the Mallee desert Ralley was won for years by a bloke on a 360? bultaco geared to 78 MPH flat out... other bikes were geared to 90 - 100 mph but he slaughtered em in the tighter stuff and the speed advantage was insufficient to beat his early advantage.... important lesson there. speed is not always the easy way to win (unless its a speedway)

Good to know. Was considering it for cruising around, not so much racing. Seems a bit much though. Do you guys know reliable source for rear sprockets if I want to go that route.

The 430 XC in my avatar was geared to 16/28 when I got it would only start to clear its throat at silly speeds, a pig to ride elsewhere, went back to 13/52 and now pulls like a 4 stroke through the gears great fun on the road and off! (when I change the wheels over)

I have had excellent results and service from Sprocket Specialists in Richfield, Utah. Their toll free number is 1-800-782-8200. They can supply sprockets for just about any bike made. I believe they even custom make sprockets for "odd applications".

We now have all of the sprocket types for Huskies in most of the sizes.
