GPz750 (Zx750A) 530 chain conversion?

I'm picking up a '83 Gpz750 Saturday to add to my ever growing motorcycle collection.

Anyways, I know it needs a rear sprocket and chain but it uses a 630 chain. I searched JT and Sunstar sprockets and neither one offered a 530 conversion for the bike. As a matter of fact, one of them didn't even offer a front sprocket whatsoever.

PBI sells a 1/4" offset front that should be close to the stock offset but in 530. Anyone ever used that? If so, do you have a part number for a 530 rear sprocket?

Thanks.

I did a 530 chain conversion on me 82 KZ1000. Bought all the parts from Z1 Enterprises. Jeff had to do some research, but he got me squared away in no time.

The KZ1000 does not have an offset front sprocket stock, so it doesn't apply.

10mm offset sprocket sounds about right, and I think 17/45 in 530 sounds about right.
I used a 83 GPz750 motor in a 650 frame and used PBI offset sprocket.

And I think the rear sprocket has to be a custom, I used Sprocket Specialist.

ZX750A1 is a 1984 model that's what my motor came out of.
I run the standard KZ650F1 530 sprocket on mine it's a bolt on.
I still have the 630 rear off the GPz I'll check tomorrow if it's
the same bolt pattern.

According to Kawasaki.com's parts diagram the Zx750A1 is an 1983.

Anyways, I did some more digging, and it appears the Gpz750 Turbo uses the same rear sprocket, just more teeth, but a couple companies make a 530 conversion for it. So a PBI front sprocket and a 530 conversion for a Turbo model should set me up...I think.

LOL! It's all good.

I know this is an older thread. But I'm dealing with this exact thing.

Doug - was that offset front sprocket the way to go?
