Harley Davidson Motorcycle Sprockets

Although the majority of modern-day cruisers run on belts and shafts, older motorcycles that use a chain and sprocket type of drivetrain are still a common sight. If you own a Harley Davidson with a chain drive or hybrid and engage in plenty of riding, its sprocket and chain know little rest. Your bike’s sprocket is one of the main components when it comes to transferring power from the transmission to the rear wheel. The chain is wound over it, transferring torque. It needs frequent maintenance and adjustment, and its service life is comparatively short. The chain stretches with a certain amount of miles, with the rollers no longer fitting the sprocket teeth snugly, and when it is worn, the sprocket should be replaced together with the chain.

Sprockets are designed and machined from out of durable, robust metals such as forged billet aluminum, steel, and alloys, all of which offer considerable tensile strength and structural integrity. The actual metals from which these parts are manufactured undergo various thermal hardening treatments, which include nitrogen freezing, heating and cooling, and so on. That’s why they are capable of handling enormous tension under snappy acceleration. Harley Davidson motorcycle sprockets come with wear-resistant, beautiful surface finishes for decorative purposes and longer life.
