Hey guys it's my first time posting, so go easy on me. I didn't find this in my searches, but has anyone ever seen a nylon rear sprocket? I bought a 1980 special, which has been stored since 1988. I know the guy I bought it from well, and he is meticulous with maintenance. I have full records on the bike. He did a few modifications to it though, and this was one of them. There was also a two into one exhaust from the era, original rotors that were drilled, and some kind of air pressure fittings for the front forks. He also added a small faring, upgraded rear suspension, and upgraded air filters. The bike was supposed to have been set up in the way a motorcycle magazine article indicated, but I'm not sure of which publication it was. I'm most interested in hearing about the sprocket, but any information about these modifications would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
I can also probably provide photos tomorrow if anyone is interested in seeing a particular part.
