Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well better to have it and not use than to need and can't get it. I wasn't sure. For 3 bucks and change I can live with a spare part if I don't need it. Can't wait to get bike running again.

Oh, I'm not questioning whether or not you need it, but in a panic wondering if I do!

Not sure either, I did notice the stock countershaft sprocket was surrounded by what looked like a dampner of sort or a spacer, maybe both. I'm thinking this could be what the spacer is going to replace.

I slapped my 530 sprockets on the same way that the 630's where mounted. Sure, the 530 sprocket is narrower than the 630, but both are narrower by the same amount. Right? At least this was my logic. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, I'm just now questioning whether or not I did it right myself.

You guys will definately need that spacer. Your new front sprocket is THINNER because it doesn't have the extra hardware on it. Without the spacer, you won't get the proper alignment.
Coldeye, I did the conversion on my '78 GS1000. I think I have a few pictures somewhere, if you're interested I believe we shared a few PM's a while back. I hope you have success with yours.
So, if you get your project completed, how 'bout bringing her up to Yosemite for the 3rd Annual Western States GSR Rally? Our red hot rods would definately turn a few heads!

But isn't the rear sprocket thinner by the same amount?

Dang! I can't find those pictures. Your gonna hafta trust me on this. The spacer is needed for proper alignment of the sprockets on the '78 GS1000. Spacer goes BEHIND the front sprocket.

The reason for the spacer is...... the original sprocket has a spacer machined into it and the new sprocket is flat. At least that is they way it was with my sprocket when I did the 530 conversion.
