Hey Dave do you happen to have the stock chain sprocket mount (splined deal) to go on a stock axle...I sheared mine off this weekend and it ate part of my swingarm as well as sheering 3 of the 4 bolts and bending up the mount spokes that come off the axle to sprocket. thanks

Im not exactly sure what caused this to happen...However I would like to believe that my motor was just too strong for the sprocket, lol.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Almost the same exact damage.

You need to red loctite the sprocket bolts.

Yep, all in stock, and can send with owed parts -- just call or email direct with the final list, thanks.

HA!, now that you mention it, that is one VERY worn out rear sprocket!

Maybe the chain was skipping and catching, which could have really jolted that hub.
