Hey Dan, so I go out to the garage to check what size that big socket was that I had to buy when I first decided to change out my sprocket two years ago, and I got to the bench and there was a 27 and a 30 mm socket sitting there in the shelf. So being the OCD master that I am I now had to follow through with the time already invested and so I pulled the sprocket cover and it is indeed a 27 mm. I think the 30 mm that I also had was for something on my old 1980 VW Rabbit pickup that I had 15 years ago.

So the short answer? Yes its a 27 mm.[8D][8D][8D]
The 30's for the steering stem nut.

DOH!!! Duh....thanks Nobrakes, now I remember buying that when I re-packed the steering bearings. Man getting old sucks..........[&:] I'm forgetting stuff all the time, I'm getting grumpy about loud music and high gas prices, I'm becoming that old grumpy dude all us kids laughed at when we were younger........Dang it all to heck...........

Yeah finger thats how it should have gone. I really dropped the ball tonight, we went out to eat, and then ran some errands, and I totally spaced the socket. Looks like I will have to take a ride tomorrow to go getthe socket.

Moose sprocket fit great.Went on same as the stock one came off- splined washer, and nut. To get the stocker off tried wrapping on a breaker bar with a hammer to break it loose, no dice. Fired up the compressor and set the impact wrench on it. Couple quick pops with the impact and off it came. I haven't had it out on the road, but I did ride it around the yard, and like the feel so far. Less clutch work to crawl along, and quicker snap when nailing the throttle.
Thanks for the help Dan
