Hi all, has anyone got a vj22 sprocket carrier for sale, I went on the LC this morning gave it a bit of a handful and it’s ripped all the mounting lugs clean off the carrier! !!!! Really lucky as it could of been a lot worse

It's the big problem with them on a decent power motor
Think they may still be available new
It is the reason I sold my vj22 wheel and changed to gk76

Thanx for all you’re reply’s, is a gk76a a direct replacement as in the caliper carrier and disc all the same? And assume ti would need the sprocket Carrie as well?

I'm afraid not
The wheel fits in with the rgv spacers but the chain run needs corrected by either machining the gk76 sprocket carrier face or simply using a 400 bandit carrier
Brake caliper carrier needs made as rgv one doesn't fit as disc spacing different
Also some have had probs getting a disc as the is 81mm centre and gk76 is 84mm
A bit of a faff but a lot beefier
A new unabused rgv carrier may be ok but the 500's and 421/443 motors destroy them easily

Mark Dent was supposedly making billet carriers for Rgv's but they have never materialised  Dusty |

Ok thx for all you’re help, my motor was on the dyno at at 80 rwp with a misfire at the top so it sounds like I’m going to have to try and get something made, or some kind of stifffinging, was shocked at the mess it made of it

Dean at Billet World might be an option if enough can be organized, although he can be difficult to deal with.

If so can this be run with the RGV wheel? Ive never tried to see what other options there are for this for my hybrid, but Im keen to own a bike that wont eat its own carrier :/ |

Cool. Im happy to turn material off if something otherwise fits in the vj22 wheel. Which of those do we think is the best bang for the buck?

Thanks Steve, I will look into welding fillets or a ring on mine and then cleaning back the surfaces in a lathe, a lot of work but perhaps better than having an issues.

Hi
I'm now in the same position as this original post.
What's the current position with replacement sprocket carriers - is anyone making billet? Or is the conversion to another wheel the way to go?
Cheers
