I just bought a DID 530 ZVM-X 110 links from Indy Superbikes.  $133

http://www.indysuperbikes.com/product.php?productid=102479121&page=2

It's an O-ring with rivet master link.


By far the best deal out there ! After calling all my local dealers first cuz I like to support them when I can BUT DAM the ranged from 160-230 bucks for this chain so I called Indy and should have it by Thru  :dance2:  Once done I can start back on the update and thinking of changing from a CBR front wheel to a R6 front wheel . If I can find one at a good price going to pick it up and see if we can make a stock FJ speedo drive fit and work ! Good thing now is I can enjoy the FJ and mess with diff parts to see what works and what don't ! Time will tell  :good:

Here is some info on the ZZZ chain installation and ZZZ pin diameters. A cheap Harbor Freight digtal caliper is handy to measure the pins and plate width.

Can't seem to find the GSXR wheel swap and what is needed ? As in which rear caliper and hanger I could use any help would be great !

I am done with trying the R wheels because I wasted a good R front wheel trying to get a mechanical speedo to work and it didn't ! So I'm to the point I would rather have good wheels that work over cool wheels that as so so ! I picked up a nice GSXR 1100 rear wheel but not sure which brake and hanger to use . Still running front YZF 750 forks and blue dots so I'm on the hunt for a YZF750 front wheel and be done with it !

Guys I can thank you enough with all your help !

"requires that you fit the
cool underslung rear brake calipers from an 89-98 GSXR1100 or 88-
95GSXR750 as well. The new brake torsion arm can be either attached to
the same point that the right side of the centerstand bolts (easiest)

I had to do a little digging and waiting on e bay to locate the correct hanger.  If you get the correct parts it is an easy conversion. Take time and get the correct stuff..

As one of the surviving Donner girls said in a letter back home (near as I can remember) "come out West, but take no cuttoff's"

Cool thank you sir !

Guess sometimes it takes a arm and a leg to get out west !

So I have what is needed for the GSXR rear wheel swap . Looking over the file it doesn't say which side or how man washers it needs ?? Any idea guys

Enough to fill the gap on each side when the wheel is centered.
Sheesh!
