Looking for this sprocket. Local supply seems to be out of stock. JT sprockets appears to only have 530 chain sprockets for my bike. Lmk if you have something for sale. Newer the better. Mikes XS has black ones but would prefer silver. Thx
I am sure I went 18 tooth with the original chain 38 years ago.I'm thinking of going to 18t front sprocket and 520 chain for any clearance issues. Is the 520 chain noticeably smaller?

Chains are measured in eighth's of an inch.Is the 520 chain noticeably smaller?
Thanks! I’ll check out shipping costs.
Good tip. ThanksI’ve ground some 530s to 520 width at the teeth and they have worked great. Doing the front is easy in a drill press and angle grinder. The rear needs a lathe or do it mounted on the wheel in a truing stand. It’s only getting .125 narrower and goes quicker than you would think. Nice thing is you can run the narrowed edge either in or out to suite alignment or give that extra 1/8” of chain clearance for a wide tire.
I have side by side Specials and I’ve been on both of them over the weekend. The one with the 33 tooth sprocket, I can go to the next town on the interstate. The one with 34 teeth, no. 33 is noticeably better if you want or have to go fast. OTOH, 34 is no doubt quicker when I turn my right hand. I can definitely feel it in the seat of my pants as I exit turns. One is not better than the other. It’s how you ride. Comfortable cruising speed is probably 5+ mph faster, all other things being equal with a 33 tooth sprocket.Installed a 34T. Will try running with that for a bit.
I'm looking for a 32t 530
I have a 30t and 17t now
I guess I could go 18t front and put my 34 back on.
I'd prefer keeping 17f and finding a 32r 530
If anyone knows where to find em in US? I can find em in UK but shipping is as much as the sprocket
