  • Max old style rear sprockets

    Does anyone no where I can get the old style rear sprockets for the max iv. How much would they cost too? The factory doesn't carry them anymore.

    Richard's Relics sells 'em for $150 apiece, plus shipping. If you're a welder or know someone who is, you can build your own rear sprocket assemblies for a lot less and make a more rugged version, to boot. The standard sprocket tube has only a 3/16" wall thickness, so it's subject to elongation under load. There are probably other sources for this material, but I bought 34T and 26T sprockets from Shoupparts.com. These are the sort with a two-inch center hole and are designed to be welded onto a shaft. From Speedymetals.com I bought a length of steel tube with an outside diameter of 2" and an ID of 1.25". Fourth-grade math will tell you that provides a 3/8" wall thickness, which will be much less subject to wear and distortion. Another fellow on the site recommends adding a second bolt through the sprocket tube and axle, dividing the load even further.
    I hope this helps you or maybe someone else reading this post. Good luck!

      There! This looks like something that should last for a while. It's the do-it-yourself rear-sprocket assembly I mentioned before. 3/8" wall thickness and two 7/16" bolts through the axle.
      It would have been finished months ago, but a heart attack back in April sorta' slowed things down.

        That looks really good. Nice work. Sorry to hear about your heart attack though.
