[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 174203, member: 38"] I have "re-ringed" around 100 used 530 sprockets (always checked for suitability first) with a 520 ring made from SAE 8620 case hardened, and also have had made rear sprockets in 46, 47 and 48 teeth, in SAE 4340 (equivalent) and had them salt bath nitride hardened. But I am on the West coast of Canada, At one time Peter Barker was doing some C/S sprockets but I haven't talked to him about that in a while..... Best thing ever done to my Vincent. The X ring chains runs around 20,000 miles before wearing out, and don't get a heavy duty one as the one with very heavy side plates can foul on the cases/G50 plate. [/QUOTE]
