Offset CC Sprocket Link: 630 & 530 Pitch!

Well wouldn't you know it...

A new source for well made offset counter sprockets in both 630 & 530 pitches... The 530 @ 18 tooth (conversion between 630 to 530) has been discussed widely and here we go.... $84.50 plus shipping.

As written previously, Sonsabitch! for obtaining an 18 tooth 530 was near impossible to find.

Ah well, next conversion/project...

my god omr what are you planning on doing running at bonnieville that is one nasty go fast gear all top end buddy be careful of that one. what are you running for a rear sprocket.

uh yeah!:laugh: wheres my beloved 16 front sprocket for 530?

Don't worry TB, I stuck with the 630 setup (15 tooth front, 35 rear)... The 18 tooth was based on tooth / 5 x 6 formulations for conversions. In my project, this would have also been required due to larger ZX pivot tube area.

Obviously I would have had to do the same for the rear. Come to think of it, this was another reason I stayed with the 630... The rear 35 conversion is 42 tooth count... Was having a hard time finding a rear 42 count sprocket.

All in all, based on all the postings, discussions and experiences and issues with this topic, I'm very happy I stuck with my 630 thank you!

Regarding americanclassix.com, I know some others have had bad experiences but for me, 100% all good!... Slightly higher in pricing, maybe but the plastic side covers I received with reinforced pins are very well built, extremely firm polymer.

I'm running a 18/40 530 combo with my 160/60-17 tire and it' has slightly lower overall gearing than the stock 15/35T with a 110/90-18" setup.

I believe the sprockets that American Classix carries are from Klasmo in Germany. I bought my 18T 530 sprocket from Klasmo about 6 years ago and its a good quality product.

i like the 16 40 with the 530,runs out of steam at around 125-130 but sure does get there quick!

i'm going to try 17 39 gearing on my big bike if that doesn't work i have a 16 tooth and a 15 tooth 5/8 offset that i can try as well.

I am in the process of putting a zx 11 wheel with a 180 tire on the back of my 900 and was wondering if i can run a 5/8" offset sprocket with a 630 chain or will it hit the frame? I already have a brand new 630 chain on it from when it had the 130, so kinda hate to have to buy a new high dollar chain if I don't have to. Also if this is possible where might i find a 630 rear sprocket to fit th zx11 hub, I'm not sure on gearing yet guess it depends on what i can get. Plan on drag racing it mostly 1/8 th mile. Thanks for any and all info you guys may have and have a great day.

got any better pictures of that bike mr fatrubber?

Nope I sure wish I did thought, I found that pic on the internet and it's excatly how i want mine to be setup. LOL!! Slowly its getting there, trying to get suspension and drive train done then going to try to build a motor maybe next winter. Someday I want to get a eddie lawson fairing and do the EL paint job also, always kinda liked those.

Can't remember exactly where I read it, but someone was searching hi and low for a 19 tooth 530 offset sprocket - here's one on eBay!
