For those of you who have installed the H-D Agitator wheels on a bike with a single side exhaust... What did you do about the ugly stock sprocket on the rear wheel? Did you just use a chrome cover or did you change out the sprocket for another simular style? I have a 2010 SG with a D&D Fatcat single side exhaust and know I'll have to do something with the stock sprocket when I go to the chrome Agitator wheels, but I'm not sure what that is yet. I wish H-D would come out with a sprocket that matches the style of the Agitator wheels. Pictures would be nice if you have them!
After doing some thumbing through the H-D Parts book I've come to realize that they do not offer the chrome covers for any of the 2008+ Touring bikes. Looks like they stopped that in 2008 when they came out with the "cush drive" system.
Can anyone recommend a good chrome shop to ship my stock sprocket off to for chroming?
My bike came with the Aggitator wheels on it, and the single side.
I never bothered looking at the sprocket, really....it's kind of behind the saddlebags.
Lemme go look...
*insert pause here*
Black slotted sprocket with polished edging ringing it. Not sure if that's "stock" or not, but it doesn't look that bad.
The fact that I had to kneel on the ground to see it tells me that it's nothing for me to be all that concerned about.
I don't plan on riding around with the bags off, and once my lowering kit comes it, it'll be seen even less.
Based on the number of replies to this post I'm guessing there is not a whole lot of interest out there in chroming the sprocket. For those that might be interested though, I contacted Impress Plating and Polishing and they said that they will chrome the 2009+ sprockets for $120. They also offer an exchange program for this part with a $75 deposit.
