I'm doing a resto on an 87 cr500. Everything is taken apart. I'm almost finished with the purchasing of parts. I'm going over every nut and bolt. Everything is to be inspected and replaced if needed.
The unit I bought was supposed to be refurbished. A lie. I think guy found it in a ditch. His incompetent mechanic pieced it back together but it didn't run. When you have no fuel (leaking petcock, pieces missing in carb), intermittent spark and 80 compression you have a disaster. I could go on.
I'm wondering what type/color rear sprocket was in use. I assume Sunstar but gold or silver?
Curious about decals. What company did the racing numbers?
I don't want a gold chain as that wasn't in play back then. I'm looking at a DID natural. I don't want black but don't want shiny silver either.
It's coming together . Engine is with my buddy, frame PC. Dubya redid the wheels . I went with factory gold finish, not bright gold. I'll post some pics later in different forum.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure I will have more questions.

I cannot find these style of #s. Any help?
The sprocket would be HRC gold color, but the sunstar is a close match. I did a lot of this replica research for my 87 dymond 125 replica build.

Came across this photo. This is what I'm looking for re numbers. It looks like the 100% offered by Throttle Jockey. I'll check in with them. My bike aspires to be like this one.
