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.
Chain conversion 520 is it okay

You may need to shim the front--counter shaft sprocket for clearance.
Not unusual with a 530 conversion.
And converting links........how many links does your bike need?
Versus the smaller chain, you may need more
Going from the 630, 96 links to a 530 I used about 110-115 links.

520 conversion
I did it on my 82 GS1100. I used 18T and 50T on rear. The chain length was 116 pitches. My center distance was about 24.5" Make sure your front sprocket has a spacer on the inside or it is machined with the proper clearances. (see the photo)

The spacer needs to be a 5mm washer that will be able to clear the sprocket shaft on the inside of the spacer/washer.
