Offset sprocket

[Chay]

Hi

Must have been loads of folk fitted bandit or gsxr wheels to gsx1100s in the past 

I fitted bandit 1200 rear to the standard et swingarm. Still have exact alignment to be set but what offset front sprocket am i looking for. Using 530 pitch

on my 1100ET i used a 5/8th offset (about 16mm) 530 sprocket. but i also used a standard GSX1100 rear carrier that fits my 1200 bandit wheel. if you don't bring the rear sprocket further in to the wheel it wont line up right and it'll hit the frame. I have about 3mm clearance between the tyre and the frame. yeah its close but no contact YET

Ive tried a 5/8 but it looks to much

Was wondering if i should have got a 10 mm instead

3mm clearance: luxury (To be said in a broad Yorkshire accent, obviously.)

I can't say for sure what you need but the 5/8th works good on my bike and with the GSX1100 carrier, chain is straight and with enough clearance.

lol. yeah i was lucky i think   it might be 2.5mm at the frame but its still got paint on it and the chain is a bit on the slack side right now

Gone for a 3/8. Hope it will clear the frame 

5/8 to much on mine

Thanks

If its not you will be able to shim it a little with washers.
