That should work.

I'll have to take mine off one weekend and see how bad it is. I'm an old guy and don't like the loud exhaust like I use to lol. But there may be a few things I could do to make it flow better and still keep the exhaust quiet down enough.

Before you take the exhaust pipe (head pipe) off, I would suggest you get a copper o-ring exhaust gasket for a Honda CRF-230. Then re-torque the exhaust to head bolts, step by step to 15 ft/pds (with the copper o-ring gasket). After you have the head pipe mounted, then re-mount the muffler.

I think a pair of these LEDs mounted vertical should fit where the reflectors are up front. https://www.amazon.com/autvivid-Driv...cm_wl_huc_item I'll take some measurements tonight.
Update: I measured up everything and it looks like they will fit. It might be close to hitting the plastic on the tank but I think I can make a bracket to offset for clearance. If you never been off-road trail in the woods at night you are missing a great experience. Ran across a couple of deer this pass weekend. I really need to invest in a helmet cam for the next time I go.

There are sprocket combinations that should be avoided, I found a chart somewhere a while back when I was changing my Duc's gearing. I believe the reason was a combination of vibration and wear do to an interaction between the sprockets and chain, but don't recall the details. It may not be a big deal on a low power/low speed machine, but if your desired gearing can be had with a better combination of sprockets it would be the better way to go. I think I wound up running one of the 'wrong' combos on one of my 999s and didn't notice anything wierd but I didn't ride either one a lot to really know, I also did a few swaps trying to find the best gearing & chain size and don't recall what combo either one ended up with. I did a 525 to 520 conversion on one of them and the reduced weight could be felt in the acceleration. Getting the lightest combination on a CB should help it too, but of course smaller lighter parts that are strong are usually more $.

As for the sprockets, what is your top speed with the new combo? |

If we rode own bikes in a totaly sterile room it could have a bearing on chain / sprocket life.. But I ride mine in the real world with water / mud / dust & the chain totaly dry after 10 mins riding.. Wheather the sprockets can be devided into each other or not has diddy squart to do with chain / sprocket life in the real world.. ....

My first trip out I clock it at 74 on my GPS. I took it out Sunday and got up to 72 before I backed off the throttle.

This also could works the opposite way. If you had a link or two that got damaged and stretched it will wear on the sprockets at the same teeth. I can see this happening more than a tooth getting bent or damaged. My stock chain is about shot already so on my next order I'm ordering an o-ring chain along with the LED lights and Hand brush guards. My last off road trip I bent the Clutch lever and busted the crap out of my hand. Lucky I had some good hard knuckle tactical gloves that cushioned the blow.

You've got it backwards. The "hunting tooth" system evens the wear around both sprockets, and the chain, if it is done as described.
