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.

AFAM Offset Sprocket question

I'm doing the old "GSXR suspension in the old bike" trick, and I'm just checking my math (as it were).

I'm running 91 5.5" rim, with GS sprocket carrier and a 12.75mm sprocket side spacer. I"ve got a stock GSXR 530 rear sprocket with a AFAM front sprocket (the largest in their cataloge, the 13mm).

Do i Need to space out the front spacer? I'm just checking my logic. If i understand from other post, i don't, but i want to confirm.

any help is appreciated.
 
I think that only way to be sure is to install all bits and check chain line and other relevant things.

I have just installed the same wheel on my GS1100. I used 12 mm offset for the front sprocket, 10 mm sprocket and some washers. The chain is already very close to the frame tubes so I think that you can't use much more offset than 13 mm anyways.

One trick to move chain line closer to the wheel is to mount the rear sprocket backwards. This gives few millimeters since the sprocket is dished on the other side. But with GS sprocket carrier the chain will rub side of the tire if you use 180 mm wide one. 170 mm should be fine.
