Hi people , please forgive me for posting in English, my German is not very good at all :D

Just a quick message to say that http://www.gs-500.de is a superb site and gallery has been a source of inspiration for many of us UK modders 8)

Now to get to the point , i have been following Jim's crazy Bandit 1200 swingarm mod ( awesome job ) but i am intrigued as to how he has got around the problem of aligning the primary sprocket to the rear sprocket , can somebody explain how this was possible , some photos would be awsome too , thanks alot guys 8)

Keep up the great work Verdi and the members of http://www.gs-500.de 8)

Hi Lev,

at the picture you can see 2 sprockets. The one on the left side is a "Offsetsprocket" and at the right a orig. Sprocket.

Ahhh , now i understand , thats very clever , where did you obtain that sprocket Jim?

Thanks again for the explaination and for the photos

Keep up the great work 8)


Lev

Hi Lev,

no problem for the Pics.

The Offsetsprocket is from Krüger&Junginger Germany. http://www.motorradschwingen.de Price: 90Euro

Thank you Jim 8) , not that i would want the headache of changing the swingarm at this time :roll: but did the swingarm take much machining/altering to fit into the GS frame ?

Lev

Hi Lev,

i make a instructor manuel for other Swingarms for the GS in 2 month and then I send you one.

Wow!..that is most kind , thank you Jim 8) and thank you for your help 8)


Cheers

Lev
