When I lived in Reading in the early seventies I had a 1972 Honda cb175 and fitted Daytona reverse cone megaphones and on the first ride I was stopped by a M/C cop on a Norton , he asked me what they were and I told him and he said Daytona reverse cone megaphones , dont make me laugh in a Scots acce...

Rob , there is one for a 4G 1953--55 [MS word] , Owners guides in the Doc repository

Thank you for that imformation Roger , I got the first sprocket from Club spares and the second from a British bike spares dealer here in Holland , they are identical in every detail even the machining marks and the 19 t stamp , they wont go on my old sleeve gear either , returning anything to the U...
