All 31 tooth engine sprockets are the original Harley factory set up, the 33's are a new made sprockets to get more speed out of the old girls.

45 motors used in military service 1935-1940 had 33 tooth motor sprockets. They also had 16 tooth transmission sprockets instead of the 17 tooth transmission sprockets found on 1941 & later 45 models.

Re: WLA engine sprocket
Thank you for the responses. 1st Cavreg what would the difference be in ride-ability with a 33 tooth sprocket, I was under the impression that the earlier WLA were quicker?
