Hi all,
Would appreciate some assistance with the following please.:-
I am customising a 1980 KZ1000G which was imported from the states & have made some changes to the front & rear of the bike.
I have fitted a Bandit front forks/wheel & 1200 swing arm, along with a 5.5 inch wheel & 180mm tyre.
The problem is coming up with a solution for the chain drive & sprockets.
I have been advised that I need a 18 tooth 16mm offset drive sprocket & possibly a 45T rear sprocket.
The problem I have is the alignment as my calculations are that the rear sprocket needs a further offset in of about 6 mm so it matchs up & aligns fully with the drive sprocket.
The only way I can think of to remedy this is to reduce the width of the carrier hub.
Any comments on this subject would be most welcome

Cheers

Roger

Try a 14mm front offset and machine 4mm off the rear carrier.

Done this many times with various modern 17" wheels.
5/8ths offset front ( 18 or 19t with 530 chain ).
40 to 42t rear with approx 8mm of the sprocket carrier depending on wheel make to put the carrier face 101mm from the centerline.

Cheers for your help & confirming what I was led to believe.
I have ordered a 16mm offset 18T drive sprocket, 42T rear sprocket & chain from Suzuki racing.
So I will get the carrier hub machined & hopefully sort that problem out.
I have another issue that I could do with some help please?
I have purchased some Bandit Mk2 forks & had yolks machined to fit the Z.
Also got some Tokico 6 pot brake calipers to fit on the forks.
Unfortunately when fitted the wheel which I bought will not pass between the calipers, which leads me to believe either the callipers are wrong or the wheel or both
Any advise would be appreciated
