I don't know off an aftermarket skid that would allow for a bigger sprocket, but what you could do would be add some 1/4"-1/2" spacers to gain you the extra clearance you need.

It's not that simple. The bottom of the sprocket and chain hits the guard. The guard bolts directly to the swingarm, so in order to move it down I would have to make extensions of some sort from the swing arm mount. It's quite possible I can try and drill the hole out a little bit so it will allow for some more movement, but I just didn't want to get that involved with it. I figured the aftermarket ones had elongated bolt holes which allowed for movement up and down.

Ahh..

I LOVE the larger sprocket though, makes 2nd gear real usable when I am cruising with my kids [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
