Compensating Sprocket Help

Sorry if this is a FNG question Im new to the Harley motor but willing to learn. I have a 2005 FXSTB 88" I wanting to change my COMPENSATING SPROCKET to a 23t but im having a hard time figuring out what years\part# will fit my bike. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction??? or even a part number?

Im finding sprockets on ebay but all they say is that they will fit BT motors, do not want to wast money on one that doesnt fit.

Sorry you didnt get a reply, but thats what i would have recomended anyway.

Just a word of caution. Make sure you can get proper chain tension with the 23 tooth sprocket. You might need to get a Baker DD6 style shoe to take up slack.

Yeah, sorry we were slow to reply, the transmission forum isn't that popular. Engine mods forum has a lot of interest. Stick around, you'll like this place!

Here is my Friday the 13th BAD LUCK, Went to put parts on today(Friends' Garage)everything came off very easy about one hour disassemble time, so easy i knew something would happen..

The parts i have are: baker 157-56L 23t sprocket\chain kit, Baker dd6 shoe.

The problem i have is they sent me a 82pitch chain(stock) there is NO WAY this is going to work even with the dd6 shoe it still has 2" play at full adjustment!!!
ANY SUGGESTIONS??
Should i call Baker?? have to wait til Monday now..
Can i just buy a 80 pitch chain and use the dd6??
Should i buy a pre2000 adjuster? do not see how that would work either, but im at a dead end and need help.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED, As my bike is in pieces in a friends Garage and not safe at home!!!!
