GS Swingarm finished, 530 conversion not so much

Finally finished up my swingarm swap, used the GS shocks, but I will need some new ones because I think I blew them out when I took my GF out for a ride. It feels like I have struts in the back, no give at all. The rear also dropped and does not sit this high anymore. Anywho here is some pics







Anyone know what year are the Goldwing shocks people use?

Also was trying to convert to 530 with new sprockets at the same time, but that didn't happen. I ordered new 530 sprockets 17t front 38t rear to go a little higher than stock 15/33 and a nice new x 0-ring chain. Then come to find out Bam,



turns out the morris mags use a different rear sprocket, so now I am on a mission to find who makes a 530 38t sprocket for this rim,



but no luck yet...

I might just go ahead and switch over to an 18" police mag so I can use the sprocket I bought if I can find one for a decent price.

Your wheels look a lot like stock LTD's so it should be easy to get a rear sprocket to fit, any chance of just exchanging the sprocket you just bought instead of going through a wheel swap with all it's attendant headaches? Really like the colour of your bike BTW.

No way any KZ or any other Kawasaki rear sprocket will fit on that Morris Mag, I already tried. I contacted all the sprocket companies and ended up having Sprocket Specialist make me one. There is one custom wheel that uses the same sprocket, but I can't remember which one.

That's why I bought a set of KZ1000 mags to replace the Morris Mags, plus I wanted a cush drive. And someday I'll install them. :laugh:

Yea I initially thought the LTD sprocket would fit but nope, It has a 33t sprocket specialist sprocket on there now. Right now I'll stick with 630 for a while since I just went ahead and bought another chain since I needed the bike for school. Meanwhile I will be looking for an 18" police wheel so I can use the sprocket I bought and convert to 530 pitch then.

I really did blow out the shocks though now that I'm really looking at the pics.

Another option is to remove the bearing/sprocket mount from the wheel and have a new one made at a machine shop that will bolt on that wheel and fit the new sprocket.

Might cost $50-$100 or so.

Now i'm bothered because I JUST ordered a 630-530 conversion from Z1 and my bike is an LTD with 16" wheel....

ok WHEW!!!, Just went outside with flashlight in mouth and metric ruler in hand and confirmed my sprocket hole-centers.... My Wheels are Enkei, and the dimensions from Z1 are spot on.
