thats what I cant figure out. he and then somebody else said they were HRC gears... Even though madman doesnt sell them anymore the webpage that he had for selling them is still available through a google search. here were the gear ratios for the HRC gears... are these the same as the early/late taller gears that came from the factory in the newer bikesB440 wrote:That's interesting. So he was just selling the later model trans gears? You should be able to get those used a bit cheaper.

they bought inventory that was sold by IRC or something, all old HRC inventory is the rumor.
No they arent the same as the honda ratio, check my tech post link at the bottom of my posts, theres a folder for the cr500. Has charts of ratios made up, somewehre there is also the instruction sheet from the wide ratio sets with the original Honda numbers and ratios

I wonder if Service Honda would know where to locate the HRC gears
