Help.... GSXR 750 1988 K1 Swingarm Sprokets and Chain

[OldKat]

Hi guys, can you help please???? 

Im fitting a K1 swingarm to a 1988 GSXR750. I believe there's a mod to the front sproket and I've been advised to use a 520 chain. (I've got the rear lineage sorted - happy days)

Can anyone advise with regards to the front sproket modification and the chain length?

Also.... what's the overall preference on gearing 15/42 or? Any ideas yearly appreciated. 

Thanks.

Are you using the K1 rear wheel also? If so you need to space the front sprocket out @4mm  Talon do offset front sprockets. A 530 chain will work with this set-up.  I'd go 15/44 but I like to rev the shit out of stuff.

Yes, K1 rear wheel. That's great info... happy days... thank you! Genuinely appreciated. I'll get in touch with Talon.

Hi, I’m on with fitting a K1 arm to my 89 1100K, I’d be interested to hear how you got the rear linkage sorted as the dog bone angle looks too shallow to me with the K1 arm having the mounting underneath, any pics would be appreciated, tia
