Build one CB250Export going forward with Webig, my PROject.
I think everyone has a motorcycle that holds a special place in their heart. For me, one such bike is the '69 CB250 I first owned as a student, a two-tone red-and-white export with knee grip rubbers. However, it is difficult to find it again after more than 50 years. Fortunately, I was able to acquire a blue and white two-tone '71 model about five years ago. It was almost complete and close to the original, with some modifications, such as the handlebars and front fenders being changed and the carb being malfunctioning. I noticed that in the process, spare parts such as engine, carburetor, seat, tank, and side covers were stocked up. One day, as I was looking at the parts, I wondered if it was a voice from heaven or a whisper from the devil. Hey, hey, why don't we just put another one together?" Thus, the thus "Build a CB250 Export from Parts Collection - My Project" The project has started. A frame with documents was obtained at a relatively low price, and the restoration work is in progress, using precious weekends (fortunately or unfortunately, I am 70 years old and work full time). The frame is for a horizontal sheet, but the sheet is for a vertical sheet, and other issues keep appearing, but solving them one by one is a new experience that has brought me new enjoyment. What is the third challenge? Fits 38T sprocket. The rear wheel that I had on hand was probably a 36T. The rear wheel I had on hand was a 36T, probably the rear wheel for a CB350. The chain was a 530, which is rare in the 250cc class. I gathered information on parts while considering a full conversion. Then I came across the usual Webic! This JT sprocket 278-530. I found one for 6732 yen (not including tax), 530 compatible to fit my CB. I ordered it right away, free shipping over 3,000 yen, points redeemable, and faster delivery than anywhere else. Webic is a reliable friend. Unfortunately, the tangled washers that hold the sprocket nuts in place and keep them from loosening are no longer manufactured. I will try to remove the washers and reuse them. I hope that Webic will carry this part someday as a reproduction part. I assembled the sprocket I received, and then I stuffed the 530-98L chain I had on hand into the 94L chain with four joints to make it fit perfectly. I think it will be around April when I will be able to actually ride the bike. Work will continue on Saturday and Sunday to complete the project. If I have any more problems, I will probably ask Webic for help. Thank you in advance.

Genuine JT Sprockets 45t Rear Sprocket for Suzuki SV 650 ABS 2008
This bike came in for a service and a new chain and sprockets fitting. The front was also purchased at the same time so I know I would have all the parts together when needed at hand. I usually already have the chains in stock in various sizes so this did not need ordering. As I ordered a few parts together, the shipping was also a little cheaper which is nice. The order arrived in 5 days from being shipped for the warehouse and all the parts were well packaged. As these are aheavy items, they were kept separate from the lighter ones so no damage was sustained. The sprocket itself is very well made and having used JT Sprockets many times before, I know they do last a long time if you get the steel ones. The aluminium ones do last but not closew to as long as the steel ones. Fitting was straight forward as with all chain and sprocket swaps. Very happy with this purchase. Will be back again View detail
Genuine JT 15T Rear Sprocket for GSF 650 Bandit 2005
I purchased this along with the front sprocket from JT sprockets brand. I decided to get the same brand as I have used them many times before and found the quality versus price is exceptional. Wanted to stick to the oem set up gearing so 16T front and 48T rear as this is how the bike is supposed to operate. Maybe in the future I will try a tooth lower in the front but for now, stay OEM gearing. Easy part to find, I was surprised Webikes stocked them really and quite a few different versions for different models and makes. Price was pretty good. Ordered along with other parts so the shipping was good too. Arrived with no faults or issues. The outer box had been sealed with extra tape to ensure, nothing could fall out or escape during transit. Any empty space was filled with air pockets and bubble wrap so nothing could move too much and damage other more delicate parts in the box. The machining of these sprockets is second to none. The spacing for the bolts is perfect. No problems with anything really. I have not found a sprocket that is of high a quality for the similar price range before. I will stick with JT Sprockets. Have fitted before and know how they go on really easy little job. As I said, great quality parts from a great UK company. Thanks Webike for the great service as always and help with anything I need.

Genuine JT Sprockets Rear for Ninja ZX-9R
I had previously purchased the front sprocket for this bike but had forgotten to order the rear. My bad. Finding the right JT sprocket was not hard and once found added to my basket. I have used JT sprockets for many years and on all kinds of bikes I have owned and fitted to customers bikes. They are top quality and last a long time compared to some brands in this price range. My order was shipped along with a few other parts and arrived promptly in 5 days from being shipped from Webike warehouse. My parts were all superbly packed and there was no damage during transit. The sprocket itself came in the standard JT sprocket packet and was all ready to fit. The teeth on these sprockets are super clean. Fitting took literally minutes on this bike and once all fitted, I test rode it for myself. Excellent. Thank you very much Webike for taking the care with my orders. View detail
