    1981 GS 450T sprockets

    I'm thinking of replacing the sprockets and chain on my 1981 gs 450t...the chain and front sprocket are pretty easily had..the rear not so much...anyone got a lead or two?
    thanks...

          the reason I asked is..because every Suzuki parts place I have checked online has said "obsolete"...none of the aftermarket brands "of name" have anything either..that I could find...I'm pretty sure I could get a used one..but I have a used one...lol

                  On my 82 450TX, I went for a 520 conversion just buying parts off amazon. Front was JTF511.16, rear was JTR811.39 (for a little taller gearing), and a JT brand X-ring 520x104 chain. All 3 were $90 shipped. Haven't installed yet but everything looks to be correct.
