New to chain-drive bikes and planning some rear sprocket swaps. Wanted to see are there techniques in bending back the locking ears that don't result in scratching the sprocket face.
Building a clean street/show rider and installing new sprocket(s) and looking to install preserving finish.
Past attempts with a center punch/chisel were not successful. I'm sure these guys building these show bike choppers and cafe racers have a process for this.
Was tempted to just try lock washers and Blue loc-tite but was advised as risky with riding the bike - hard on occasion.
Anyone?
