    17 tooth front sprocket on a gs450?

    Will a 17 tooth front sprocket squeeze into my 82 gs450? The space looks slim. Reason I ask is because I've adapted a boxed aluminum swingarm from an 82 GS1100E and want as much space as possible between the fatter swingarm and chain. Currently I'm running a 16/45 and would like to keep as close to that gear ratio (2.81). If i ran a 17t up front I'd run a 48t in the rear to compensate. I've also converted to a rear disk using the 17" rear wheel from the same bike.

    Uhhhhh... do you have a build thread/pics for this? Very intriguing.

      I can throw one together. Still finishing up the swap with all the little details. All of the pics are on my phone. Oh, and I spoke to Big Rich on here who posted a thread on do the ton with his GS450E that he put on a 17 tooth front with no issues. So I got a 3/8" offset 17 tooth front sprocket to line up with the now wider rear. Still clears the clutch pushrod\ shift shaft\ frame. This is all very exciting stuff!
