I have a new 3/8" offset countershaft sprocket to be delivered on Thursday. Any hidden secrets or problems you can share regarding mounting this guy? It is going on a 1973 Z1.
Thanks

What´s your swing arm type and wheel/tire/chain size Setup?
I ride a 630 chain on a 14 mm off-set front/rear 15-35 with 5,50 x 17 wheel (ZX9R) with 180 tire. So what´s your Problem?

What chain are you using? Why 3/8 inches?
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I'm running a 530 chain with a ZRX1200 swingarm. Rim is a 5.0" with a 170 tire. No problems as of now, just wondering if people that have made the switch in swingarm and chain size ran into any issues.
