any of you guys runnin a 530 conversion with a gs1100 swingarm remember how long of a chain you needed. bike is a 77 KZ1000 and its due for a new chain and sprockets so im going with a little steeper gearing and a new o ring chain. also, anyone have a particular gear ratio that worked out well for them in 530? thanks.

I think I use a 110 and had to cut off four or five links.
