Im converting my bike over to chain drive. What kinds of sprockets will fit on the rear. I know Vortex makes them, but will the rear sprocket off a sportster work or possibly another bike?

Only if it has a 6 bolt mount, the HD pulleys/sprockets are a 5 bolt mount like the older Tuber model. AFIAK Vortex is the only supplier of rear sprockets.

Thanks, Also do you know if 530 chain requires a different sprocket compared to a 520 chain? Hope that makes sense

To my knowledge it does because the chain dimensions are different/thicker and will have too much side to side slack on a 520 sprocket. I could however be incorrect, its been awhile since I played around with anything other then a 520 chain/sprocket combo.

Do you know what comes on a stock sportster, a 520 or 530 for the front sprocket?
