I've only grew up around Fox choppers so I'm not familiar with any other make, but can the sprockets be slid over any? I would try that and if they can, then that'd be the way to go. Chains do have some slop and can run a little off course, but what happens is they stretch out and then they wear the sprockets funny if you don't change it soon enough, so even if/when you change the chain the worn sprockets will make the chain ride up and will stretch out the new chain within the 1st season. I used to replace lots of sprockets like that for farmers over the 4 years I worked at a sprocket & gear shop in Freedom. Even did a couple for myself and now I drop one off once in a great while for our farm when one is bad. If it's a standard bore, we would either make an entire new one or cut the old one off the hub if it was good yet, and if it was a splined or otherwise special hub we could always find a way to save it for the new sprocket. Much cheaper than buying new fomr the dealer most times as well, and we made them OEM for AGCO, (hesston, New Idea, Tye, etc...) Brillion, Miller, and Meyer's plus many others. We did repair on any color that came in the door. Donovan from Wisconsin
