    I thought this looked like a good option: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-US . What do you guys think?

        Seconded. And they know what they sell, so you can call them up with questions about the conversion.

          I did the Z1 conversion JT sprockets - 18 front, 49 rear. But some mess with the ratios for quicker acceleration or longer legs.

            I did my conversion with ebay... Loads cheaper. Just type in GS750 530 chain and voila your there. You may need a spacer but it's not rocket science, just makes sure the chain is 100% straight on from front to back... I also found Bandits 1200 sprockets fit the rear and the front do to (If I recall correctly)... 530 is the way to go. Do some research, and youll rock a new 530 chain with ease. If you plan on owning the bike for awhile I strongly recommend a high tensile X-ring EK or DID chain... They last longer then any Ebay O-ring cheapo.

            My 2 cents and experience.

            Good luck!

                I recommend Z1. Purchased my 530 conversion but ran into a problem in MrBill's shop...no impact gun...bent a tire iron trying. Anyway, here's some photos of the goods...post 193:
