Late model 6'' rear wheel conversion
I'm running a McIntosh swing arm with a 6 inch Hayabusa rear wheel. I have a 5/8 offset 530 front sprocket. My issue now is the chain is hitting the the inside of the peg, where the 2 bolts hold it on to the rearset. What is the best solution to fix this? It seems if I grind the bolts, there won't be anything left to secure the peg. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks -

If it's very minimal then use a thinner chain... There is a competition grade O ring 520 chain that is strong but thin. I remember a guy who Monoshocked a GS1000 on here using it. (PJ)1980 GS1000G - Sold

1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017:D
I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.
