Hope I am on top of the list as I was the one with the first question! You were the first to ask for it! I’m pleased that you like the sprocket designed by my friend. The choice to reproduce it or not belongs exclusively to him. I know he is still working on it to improve the design a little further and to save more weight as well. So if there are other ones, they‘ll be even better than mine. But all is linked to the time needed to manufacture them and to the price. Anyway, I guess it can’t be more expensive than the standard product.
Before we decided to have one produced, we had a close look to what was needed and what was available. By reading TM quite often, I knew that there were some options: trying to adapt a HD 1.5” rear sprocket or to choose to have an aluminum sprocket converted to polyurethane by Super Max. In both cases it was a question of number of teeth, 65 instead of 66 and for polyurethane, it has no flange on one side. With the NVH system, the belt is always moving from one side to the other. We even investigated for stronger grade of aluminum. But in the end, steel was the best choice. The front pulley in steel didn’t wear on any Three Wheeler. And it saw the belt more often than the big one. Moneywise steel is finally a lot cheaper because it last longer. I can’t say how long. I have been stopped in my attempt to do a lot of miles by a big electrical short circuit. The 50A fuse and a 15A have melted down. The Three Wheeler refuses to start anymore and will be brought to BHM in September for repair.
