Title: Looking for fork seals, front and rear sprockets-
Post by: Motogary on December 22, 2022, 10:13:14 PM
1971 200 Mach II SS. Does anyone know where to find these?? I'm having zero luck. The #428 chain is easy-peasy.

Hi motogary,

No I don't know where to get them but there was an informative discussion a few years ago on this forum.

In case you haven't seen it.


Merry Christmas!

I am in the UK. I just had to find a couple of seals for my Dual twin. If you have the old ones as a pattern a decent seal/bearing shop should be able to help.

Almost all BS seals are on richard's 6x6site located at:  6x6parts.com

The Kawasaki F7 front sprocket fits the 175/200. It doesn't have the bolt holes for the retainer plate. You can either try to drill and tap holes in a VERY hard surface or put 2 snaprings in the groove as I did on mine.  There is a good selection of sizes for the F7, that's how I got various ratios for my racer.

Check with Richard for the rear sprocket, if he can't help, it's a flat sprocket so you should be able to get a blank and have it machined if nothing else comes up. There may be some used ones on Ebay that aren't too worn. Since you probably won't be putting thousands of miles on it, a good used one should last as long as you need.

So I got an F7 sprocket for the front, not sure if it fits the shaft, I haven't checked yet. I had a rear sprocket made by Rebel Gears, $68+ shipping, had it in 2 days.

The search goes on for the seals and fork boots.
