In 1970 I saw this old guy on top of a pile of scrap metal in one of the Wendover hangers. I asked a young kid there, "Who is the old guy on the pile?" "That's Bert Munro!" I had heard about him so I asked, "What's he looking for?" "A flat plate to make a new sprocket!" Blue it, scribe it, drill x number of holes and file each tooth by hand!  :cheers:

Now I am the old guy hanging still around the salt!  :-o

And no, I won't make your sprocket for you!  :x But these guys will give some good leads!  :cheers:

I agree with Mark Wolbrink that Rebel gears does a great job. It is a husband and wife team. They have a great turnaround time. I have used them for all my LSR bikes including my Montesa, Honda, Morini, and Parilla.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.  Dakzila, stupid of me, should have posted that info to begin with - it is a '92 Kawi ZX-11.

Unless you're looking for something really far out you should be able to find what your looking for on eBay.

If not, any of the suggested vendors above, and below, will get you what you're looking for.
