    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.

Hello guys,

I have a 83 gs1100e with a 4 inch extended aluminum swingarm. I'm going to do a 530 chain coversion in order for the 180 tire to fit. Does anyone know how many more links that I'm going to need in order for the chain to fit? Thanks for your help.

Peace!

why not use a measuring tape around the outside of the sprockets you're using...then order your chain by length rather than links. this way your chain will be slightly longer than needed ...but rather looking at it than looking for it.


that how i do mine anyway...the guy i use cuts to whatever length i need :):)
 
A 4" extension is going to need a chain that is 8" longer.

The links are 5/8" each.

Doing the math, 13 links would be 65/8" or 8 1/8".

Depending on the adjustability in your axle slot, you would want either 12 or 14 links extra.
