Who sells 530 5/8" offset sprockets?

Who sells 530 5/8" offset sprockets? and how many teeth should I buy? Any advice on sprocket combos for 17" wheels on a GS1000 2v?

Thanks

Z1 Enterprises sells a spacer, they can help you with the gearing too. I've bought a couple sets of conversion parts for GS1000's and can dig up the sprocket sizes if nobody offers it up (need to find the receipt).

PMFR sells 530 5/8 offset sprockets. You should go with a 17 tooth & gear the rear accordingly. This is better than a spacer as you keep all the thread engagement for the nut that holds the sprocket on. Ray.

i have 17-45 gearing on my 1000 2v with gsxr1100 wheels.
front sprocket is 1/2" offset and the rear sprocket mounted with the machined side on the hub.
Kawasaki kz splines are the same.

$80 for a 17 tooth 530 sprocket? http://www.pmfronline.com/counter_shaft_sprockets.php

-6mm spacer for $3.32 - http://z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1886

-17 tooth sprocket for $11.72 - http://z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=287

-47 tooth sprocket for $36.01 - http://z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1794

-48 tooth sprocket for $33.50 - http://z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=2580

Stock gear ratio is 2.80 so you can run either a 47 or 48 rear to replicate the stock gearing.

That's how I went. The guy is an ace to work with, too.

Ed the 5/8 offset gears are measured relative to the stock gear. I think that 6mm spacer is what is required on the outboard side just to take up the slack not to space it out. Also 5/8" is 15.9mm which would have to be on the inside of the gear; there would be 10mm less thread.

I used a 6mm spacer on the inside with a 530/520 conversion sprocket (has a lump on one side so the centre section is the same thickness as a 530) run backwards (lump facing the engine).

This meant I got about 8mm offset but still had 7mm of splines on the output shaft. I had to grind the nut down a bit & fitted with red loctite as you can no longer fit the tabbed washer.

That's what I did on my 1150. JT sprockets is the route I took; it was inexpensive, I went through Extreme Cycles: 785-234-5007. I know the guys there, and the owner/operator/welder/fabricator, etc...(you get the picture) is a m/c uber-enthusiast.

Okay Jim. A 6mm spacer is all that's needed when switching from a 630 OE sprocket to a 530 aftermarket sprocket, so I made an assumption that this is we are working towards. I have no idea why the OP wants a 5/8" offset sprocket so disregard my comments.

[salty_monk]

5/8" offset sprocket is the common one required when changing to 17" wheels like on my 750. Either that or a 3/8" one. (9mm)

I think 5/8" is what most are running.

[Bad Kaw]

One each: got one on my KZ1000 and the other one on my 1150. I think I'm at 3/8ths on my GS and 5/8ths on the KZ. Gonna have to go with an out-board bearing support kit from DG on the KZ though; going with a 6.25" PM ... hope I don't need to do anything to the frame.

Thanks for all the options.

Like Dan said and OP explained a 17" wheel conversion. I was assuming he is talking about 180/55=17 on 17"x5.5" wheel because that ususally ends up being 5/8" offset. On my 170/60-18 on 18x4.5" wheel the offset was closer at 3/8"; not perfect but within about 0.050".

So offset depends on the size of the back tire/wheel
