Kicking the 19-tooth dead horse
#1

Hi all, been searching threads regarding a 19-tooth front sprocket change. Looks like it hasn’t been discussed in quite a long time, and the JT brand has discontinued theirs.

Sounds like something really only appealing to a ‘13 owner.

Anyone happen to know of a currently available 19 tooth option?

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.

On my '13/5 speed I converted the front sprocket from 18T to 19T and ground the steel plate exactly as described in pekingduck's thread.
It worked flawlessly, then at 56,000 kms I sold my '13 CB.

There's a mob here that sells sprockets made by a German manufacturer, Esjot. Sadly, they don't seem to have a 19 tooth option, nor, with a quick search, could I find anyone else who offers anything. Sorry.

Needs to be custom made for a few extra dollars. Exclamation

Thanks for the information, guys. With the '13 not creating a huge demand these days, I imagine it's not a profitable product for anyone any more. I'm happy with the stock setup, just curious. I take my CB to the museum on weekends and that's 40-ish miles of highway, but still enjoyable. I did go up one tooth on the Enfield for the weekday slog and it's happier, but there'a an easily available solution for that bike.

Thanks, M. The rear would be the next option if a front sprocket isn't an option. On the Enfield, it was easy as the larger front sprocket was OEM on another model.
