Anyone have a brand new sprocket that can be 3D scanned?

I'm thinking we can get a 3D scan of a front sprocket then get them made? Any other effort on getting sprockets made? I saw something from a while back on the facebook list but it seems nothing came of it?

Please advise.

Vortex makes the sprockets, just need to order it by part number. PN 821-xx where xx = tooth count, ie; 44 teeth.

That looks suspiciously like a rear sprocket :)

Whoops, my bad. Didn't read the part about the front sprocket.

It's ALL GOOD :).

As I understand it the front sprockets will be difficult to replace going forward? I'm assuming we'll have a non-cush alternative but IMO the best solution would be to retain the cush drive. Have I missed any efforts in that direction?

I do have a new one sitting here, but I do not have the cush parts for it. I'll see if I can find a way to get it scanned, but it may be a bit.

New front race sprocket or one for the cush drive?

I'm looking into getting a bunch of the race style front sprockets cut.

An OEM (that is, yes on the original design) version is a very good idea. Though doing the layout, design check and the first few will be expensive. Hopefully you can make them inexpensive enough (notice I didn't say "cheap" enough !) to come close to the Buell price.
If this "deal" goes the wrong way, new stock front sprockets will sell, maybe just not right away.

I'm not making stock ones. It's a terrible design with that huge cush rotating up front like that. The race sprockets are a lot lighter and there's not really a consequence to them in practical terms.

Not racing, don't need a few oz. less weight. Would rather have the drive train protection.
Would still like to have the availability of an OEM style front sprocket if they (a well designed one) were to become available.
