Joe,
Again,thanks for doing the footwork regarding the rear sprocket. I have contacted James Alfaro to make one up for me. One question, why the counter bore, because the stock sprocket is offset???

CIP if you look at the stock gear it has a step machined into it all the way around where the nuts bolt it to the hub where the new one does not so it needs to be counter bored to accomplish the same effect without machining the gear all the way around.

I'm thinking about going in the other direction seeing as the highest top end speed I've been able to attain has been at the top of 4th gear. The bike won't go any faster at all when I shift to 5th because power is overcome by drag. I had dropped the front by 1 and added 3 to the rear of my old Tuono R, which put the top end a tad under 150 at the rev limiter in 6th gear. With that gearing it was a beast on acceleration, not to mention a real wheelie monster well into 3rd gear, especially if I had a passenger on board
Might be fun to play with. My FZ-1 is set up to be my bike for trips so it's not so important for the CB to cruise well.

I just ordered one of these. Is the stock rear sprocket on the CB1100 steel or aluminum? Does a steel rear sprocket really last longer? This is another great find on this forum. Thanks.

Stock sprocket is steel, which wears much longer than aluminum.

Aluminum sprockets are popular with racers because they're lighter, but the trade-off is faster wear.
I bought an aluminum sprocket by mistake several years ago. It was the first time I'd ever seen a sprocket wear out before the chain.

I have produced many aluminum rear units, some with good and not so good results. If you are a type A person when it comes to chain maintenance, you can expect good wear, I have a number of units that are near the 10k mark. If you're like me and perform chain maintenance when i remember to, or you're hard on the throttle, then I suggest sticking with steel.

Hey Jim,
Welcome
Thanks for joining and your input. Per our conversation I ended up going with the aluminum sprockets that where in stock.
