    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...

  • 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.

Bought a 530 link conversion kit online... Not enough links!

So I bought a chain conversion online off of ebay for my 79 Gs 750. Well I have an issue. I"m about 6-9 links to short.. the kit has 108 links and the two drive sprockets which are 17tooth in the front and a 49Tootth in the back. The kit came with a 108 length chain... Which said direct bolt on for a 77-79 GS 750... So Here's the conundrum, do I buy a new chain? I can't return it for I opened the package and started to install it on the bike and the sprockets are installed too(obviously). Can I buy links somewhere? Need help with this one please!
Thanks!
 
contact the ebay seller and tell them the chain is too short. they have an obligation to sort it out as they have sold you faulty, non fitting goods
 
If you want to make sure you have the correct sprockets and correct chain...(number of teeth and links)

give Z!Enterprises a call, tell then your looking to do the conversion and see what they tell you, I have heard they are very good at this, and have helped many of the guys here on the site....

perhaps it's correct, did you push the rear tire as far forward as possible, loosen up the chain tensioners so it will move forward (towards the engine)

I believe that Z1 sent a chain of about 120 links and all that I had to do was lop off about 6 of them.
