CL72 rear sprocket needed

Post by existential motorcycles » Thu Jul 11, 2013 2:21 pm

Greetings,

I have a CL72 that needs a new rear sprocket and I had assumed that it would be the same as that on my CL77 - but no. The bolt hole spacing is different and the hubs are very different. The brake drum is much larger on the 77 than the 72. Can someone please point me to a source for a new CL72 sprocket?

Cheers,

Didn't the later CL77 have larger brakes, the front from the CB450 and rear from the CB72/7, the CL72 having smaller single leading shoe brakes front and rear.
