Fred,

That looks like an aluminum sprocket -is it?  If so, be aware that the FJ has eaten many-an-aluminum-sprocket in it's day.  I've seen more than one picture of an aluminum sprocket with NO teeth left, just a semi-smooth outer disk edge.

If not, and it's steel, then let this be a warning to those that consider the aluminum option, eventually conventional wisdom suggests that the FJ will eat it.

Cheers,

Dan

Edit, I just took a closer look at the listing, and it did call it out as steel.  Reading IS fundamental....

 
Live hardy, or go home.

Same sprocket I've got. Still have it and the new chain sitting in the drawer to fit sometime.

Pardon, don't mean to but in. The washers I used for my GSXR conversion were off the shelf Ace Hardward washers. Out of memory 20mm or 3/4" diameter washers (I might be wrong there) . As a note in the final adjustment left or right I think I also used one of the washers from the old FJ rear. Depending on the spacers you don't always end up with equal thickness of washers on each side.

On my 92' GSXR wheel mod. I used the same off the shelf ACE Hardware 20mm ID washer as George says, I used 2. 1 on each side right up against the inboard side of the swingarm.

You wouldn't believe but I had a heap of these s/steel washers sitting in a btl in the shed. 4mm thickness, 1 each side, and the chain lines up near perfectly. Photos #14 and 15 in my link below show them fitted,

I have loads of extra 4mm washers as well, if anybody's interested.
I'm in Sweden, but shipping a couple of washers shouldn't be more than $3.

Bet that aluminum sprocket with the nubs (ex teeth) made a hell of a racket every time you gave it some gas.

Thanks for the great information. I'm on a mission to collect all the parts for a gsxr wheel conversion. I will need a 38 teeth sprocket. However, I would like to get a steel, and not aluminum.
I wasn't clear if the link above is for a steel or aluminum. Could you please clarify? If it is aluminum, any suggestions for where I can get a 38 teeth steel sprocket?
Thanks,
Eyal
