New question about 18T front sprocket on ZX750

I know this has been answered for the 750 twin, but not sure about the 750 - 4 engine.

I'm changing chain to 530 pitch, to match up with Bandit 600 rear wheel, but to get anywhere near the standard ZX gearing with the smaller rear wheel, I need to use an 18 tooth front sprocket, does anyone know if this will actually fit, before I go and buy one?

Other wise I might have to have a special rear sprocket made, (stock Suzuki items only go down to 42 teeth).

Thanks

sprocket specilties will make smaller sprockets than stock special order,an 18 tooth sprocket may be to large it may hit or interfere with components.

Yeah, there's a place in the uk, debben.co.uk they do some nice stuff, that do offset sprockets, I guess I could have a special rear sprocket made.

I have pulled the sprocket as close to the wheel by using a GS500 twin sprocket carrier, which is about 15mm (from memory) narrower than the bandit anyway, so that might be enough.
