You're pretty much stuck with E-Bay, finding a parts bike or using a lathe to cut off the old sprocket from the drum and fitting a new one on it. If on E-bay make sure you ask the complete condition of the part including the brake surface as well as the teeth.

Yes you can and I got a bonanaza that came with Fox type wheels with drum,,,,,but why wouldn't these work? (if drilled with bolts used)

Also if your sprocket is small you could bolt a larger sprocket to it. (the kind like above.)

I have one of those bolt on sprocket set ups on my boonie...they suck for stopping. I think the drum is a smaller diameter like 4 " The one piece bonanza sprocket works much better.

The stock Boonie brake don't stop well either! :doah:

If you want to keep the Bonanza type brake and sprocket your options are limited as I said above. As far as other types of wheels and brakes you can use anything that will fit. There are several choices of wheel and sprocket assemblies. Years ago I set up a mechanical disc brake caliper on a BC1000 for my kids. It used the sprocket as the disc and I used the scrub brake foot lever to actuate it. It would lock up the rear wheel.
