I can get one from Sprocket Specialists but it runs about $100 delivered.

Yeah, stock 38T rears are $25. I want a 35. I already went up one gear on the front to 17T and nothing larger will fit on in the front.That is impossible. A rer sprocket should not cost more than about $25 at Z1E. I just bought one not too long ago. What is the hole size in the center of the sprocket. It should be 80mm. If it is than a 38T 6Bolt pattern is the SMALLEST made by anyone. Your only choice is to get a larger front countershaft sprocket. One tooth on the front approximates 3 teeth in the back.

Anyplace to get smaller sized steel sprockets for the rear?
Maybe possible for a 530 chain but I looked long and hard for a 35T steel #630 and couldn't find one. Ended up purchasing a 35T aluminum from Sprocket Specialist. Works great. Much better ratio than the stock 42T. Bike is an 82 GS1100E.

I ran an aluminum one from Sprocket Specialists for about 25 k miles. They are pretty good, but I don't like the $105 it would cost. That's too pricey for a sprocket.bountyhunter wrote:

I have run a couple of al sprockets, they are suprisingly durable. The two I have run outlasted the chains both times (more than 15k miles). Just don't like the price and was hoping somebody was making them in steel by now.Thats the smallest that is made in steel, and Aluminum would last you about 1000mi.
