530 Conversion, Spacer

Ok, I know I need a 6mm spacer if I'm doing the 530 conversion on my '82 GS1100. The question is, where does it go, between the motor and the sprocket, or the sprocket and the nut? :-k
 
Just did mine last week, I put it between the motor and the sprocket. It appears to ness to replace the space caused by the rubber mount bushing that is intergrated into the stock front sprocket.

Thanks for the input, guys. But under further examination it appears it should go between the sprocket and nut. If you notice, the stock spacer doesn't butt up against the damper, but sits against the sprocket. The space that has to be taken up is on the nut side as the output shaft splines are now too long to allow the nut to butt up against the sprocket. If you put the spacer between the motor and the sprocket, the sprocket is going to sit too far out. :-k
 
Arrrgghhhh...
Just went out and took a hard look at my stock sprocket and you are right. the backside of the damper is recessed to accomadate the shaft.
Good thiing I have been doing the jetting dance, and have not ridden more than a couple of miles since I did the conversion.
Now I have to pull the front sprocket off again.

Thanks for the heads up,

Derrick
