"A cheap, effective and worthwhile modification"
It was easy to fit, without any need for buying a new chain. The original (smaller) sprocket as fitted to the new machine (purchased October 2019) has a rubber buffer which extends, via holes, through from one side of the sprocket to the other, and which I can only assume must have been vulcanized into position. There was no way I could see of transfering this to the new sprocket, but it doesn't seem to matter. The new sprocket has holes drilled through it in a pattern matching that of the old one, suggesting that the pattern-makers have made provision for such a rubber buffer. However, I am not aware of any increase in chain noise or other disadvantage caused by its absence. The bike now has a lazier feel and sound to it, which is exactly what I wanted, but has lost nothing in throttle-response or flexibility
