You can get a 24 tooth sprocket from Drag Specialties. If you hunt around you can find a 21 tool sprocket. 21 will typically come with a new chain. Drag has Diamond primary chains. They are better than the stock Regina.

Unless you're looking to alter ratios, there's nothing to upgrade on the '06 sprocket from the factory.

The "problematic" compensators started with the Dyna models in 2006 and into the rest of the model lines in 2007.......

You have a pretty good compensator in your bike now, unless you have a comp issue, are planning big power mods, or want a different gear ratio... no need to change... but hey, upgrades to anything are always fun...

If just doing it for fun, MAX gave good advice...
