   * By the time the 1976 parts catalog came out, all three early transmission sprocket versions were available for replacement of the original no matter which bike you had and from 1954 to then current. It stayed that way until Late 1979 in the parts catalogs. However, 1973 and up Sportsters all came factory with a 21T sprocket, according to the FSM. There is also an overlap in 1973 in that the FSM(s) states a 21T and a 20T for 1973 ((The Doctor71 of the XLFORUM)). Maybe a mid year change?   * By the time the 1976 parts catalog came out, all three early transmission sprocket versions were available for replacement of the original no matter which bike you had and from 1954 to then current.

 +=== Mainshaft roller bearings ===
 +Standard rollers should measure .15625"​-.15610"​. ((Dr Dick of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/​ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/​147386-main-shaft-needle-bearing/​page2?​t=1601769&​page=2)) \\
 +Fit to shaft may not be determined by race size. \\
 +In order to fit 23 new std rollers in the race, it needs to be big enough to accept 23 rollers with out the rollers binding in the race. \\
 +When sized to the min. dia. that accepts 23 rollers with out bind, the shaft (.991" dia) will be will be about .002 running clearance. \\
 +This is because there is no roller cage. The rollers touch each other. \\
 +Because of the zero% roller to roller space trying to fit 23 o.s. rollers means the race needs to a lot bigger than the roller amount of roller o.s. \\
 +This results in a looser running fit than used in the standard rollers. \\
 +To use the os rollers and get a tighter fit than 23 standards, you can only use 22 o.s rollers. \\
 +Rigid hone / line lap race to take 23 standards. \\ Then let clearance be whatever it is. \\
