ok so when i bought my 96' F3 last season...it had a D.I.D. 520VM Gold chain on it with -2, +5 sprockets. I have no idea where the previous owner got these sprockets but...im looking to buy some new ones very soon, so i can have my bike ready for the spring. (Im looking to go -1, +2....which would put the bike at 14F & 45R
....Ive checked around and i cant seem to find any sprockets thatll go with this chain (520). I looked in Dennis Kirk at some JT sprockets and Sunstar....but they are all 530....no 520 conversion sprockets. It seems they have the conversion for every year except for the 96' F3. Does anyone know where i could get some sprockets (520) thatll match this 520VM chain???? I didn't feel like buying a brand new 530 chain....because that would cost another $100 at least.
......any help would be great....websites etc.......thanks guys!!!!!!

Vortex makes sprockets for 520 conversions. Also when you replace sprockets you should do the chain as well. A worn chain will wear out faster with new sprockets and vise versa worn sprockets will wear out a new chain faster. It just a good idea to do all 3 at once. Expensive but you save money later by not having to replace stuff as often. BTW the RK XSO chains are nice

Get your sprockets through "Thrust Company" online. Thats what I did. the 520 conversion -1, +2 and damn was it well worth every penny. Great sprockets and they are T6 hardened steel, not aluminum so expect long life from them as well.
