I've used Sprocket Specialists in the US with success when I couldn't find what I needed locally....seems to be happening more and more these days unfortunately as I'd rather support local businesses. They have a massive range. Just specify they use USPS to ship and not UPS :o :o Nasty shock when the invoice arrived.

TELL ME ABOUT IT! >:(
Those pricks told me shipping costs will be provided on payment of invoice.
I payed and waited and waited...then something turned up a month later with a man in a UPS van....never seen one in melbourne till then.
Signed and put the parcel aside for about a week until i was curious enough to find out what i signed for ;D forgetting that it was 2 sprockets and a chain....and a f@#king shipping cost of US $120.00
I even had someone from Thumpertalk ring them for me for a shipping cost as they wouldn't reply to my email requesting a cost....he said the lady on the phone was an absolute bitch even to him!
She quoted about US $30.00 so i went ahead and ordered.
So much for letting me know.....so i sent them a nasty email.....but they don't care.
BUT...they do have a great range of chains and sprockets! ;D

Here in NZUD I get all my front sprockets from the local JT importer & all my rears I have done local as there is a sprocket company about 12km away that will make anything as long as you have a sample to go by for about a $1 per tooth, if anyone has trouble getting a rear happy to get them done for you.

John Titman in Brisbane can make any sprocket if you have a sample so he can get the PCD. He also sells Talon sprockets from the UK and they may do the Cagiva. Some of these euro sprockets have the same centre as other bikes. Worth checking.
