Wanted Africa Twin Chain and sprocekt Central America
Hello

I have been traveling around on my AT for over a year now and now I am heading back to the U.S. through central America. The only problem is my sprockets are gone and now I am limping along north bound hoping for parts. I looked in San Jose but they didn´t have the parts so now I am heading north. Does anyone have an idea where I might find some sprockets.

Brad

Can't help with a supplier, but I've had sprockets "reconditioned" in Central America, by having a new set of teeth welded on to the existing sprocket.

I got the parts
Just wanted to say thanks for the help and that I got the parts. It just tooke the right person to ask. After I told my story to the honda shop in Monteverde he called San jose and after a couple of knows they finaly found the parts and put them on the next bus to Monteverde and they were the right parts.

Thanks Brad

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
