    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

So I am just about done buttoning up my conversion on the 83 1100ED.
What a sweetie she is\\:D/
I went from the stock 630 set-up with 96 running C/S 15 rear 42 sprockets.

I decided to go with SunStar sprockets running C/S 16 and rear 45.
The chain I have is a EKZVX with 115 links.

ZVX Series: The Extreme Chain for Extreme Bikes
Anyone with a Hayabusa, ZX-12 or one of the new generation of 180hp literbikes knows how hard they are on chains. EK steps up with an incredibly strong Quadra-X Ring chain that has proven its superiority in controlled lab tests. ZVX chains are also great for any bike that?s been modified for more-than-stock horsepower. The 530ZVX is available in colors.
Recommended application: over 1000cc, up to 180hp
Available colors: gold, chrome, red, blue, yellow
Tensile strength: 10,560 lbs.
I went with chrome to match the bike, silver, and it doesn't look to bad. I tis really silver so not so much bling8-[

Once I get photos and street time I will get out more.
 
Ahhhh, same chain I'm using on the 1150. I have about 8k miles on the chain and dont need to make the 1st adjustment yet. Probably will though in another 8 thou. LOL

Good choice.:)

I would feel much more comfortable with this high strengh 530 chain than the 520 conversions some are using with 1100s and 1150s.

As a comparison, the D.I.D. OEM type 630 O ring chain has a tensile strength of 10,820 lbs.
 
I can't wait to see a picture of those links bouncing off the sunlight.
 
The highest I have seen for a 630 chain is 11,000+.

I buttoned her up this afternoon and went for a trial run of about 5 miles thru the neighborhood.
Remember it is cloudy, about 25 with windchill of 10, but =P~ :twisted: \\:D/

I thought it pulled like a train before.............DAMN

Now pulls like the Apollo moon rockets

What a nice difference just with that short of a ride. Can't wait until 50's and 60's get here to do some serious riding.

As soon as I get pictures loaded, I will post.
 
i just got a 530 15 tooth c/s and a 42 tooth rear and a 530 100 link RK rx chain for around 80 bucks, but after reading this post it looks like i will need atleast 15 more links in my chain to fit on my gs1000 w/ a 1100 swing arm.

can i just order like 20 more links some where of the same chain i have? and just rivet clip the chain together?
