If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    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.

530 chains for gsxr wheel swap

As mentioned a lot of times before ive done quite a few 5.5" wheel swaps on gs's & never had a problem using 530 chains, but having said that i dont use a 5/8 ofset front sprocket either (too much ofsett)

cheers tone




sooooooooo what kind of offset do you run? i can always machine the drive sprocket spacer a bit if need be. exactly how much can you change the spacing between front and rear sprockets before you run in to trouble?

Anywhere from 10 t0 13mm of ofsett at the front depending on the exact frame & make of tyre (some 180's are wider than others) i correct any remaining misalignment in the chain i by machining or swapping the rear sprocket carrier with the aim of keeping the chain dead centre of the available space where possible

wow. that's not much offset at all. i keep meaning to measrue the distance from the centerline of my tire to the centerline on my sprocket and see how it compares to the same measurement on my brother's stock rear setup to see how much offset is acually required.
