    That 525 rear sprocket is going to eat up that new chain. The difference between 525 and 520 isn't just the width. 525 has a longer distance between pins, too. The right way to do a 520 conversion is to buy 520 sprockets. Vortex and supersprox both have 520 rear sprockets for that bike for around 50 usd. You don't mess around when it comes to chains. When they break, they can cause a lot of damage or cause serious bodily injuries.

      I'm pretty sure the 5-series chains all have the same pitch and roller diameter.

      Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you.
      * John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".

    I know I'm late but I just came across your VFR "Custom" build. Sweet Mother of Jebus! $577 to make one of the best looking greatest Sports/Tourer Bikes in History look like it was built for $200 by some 16yr old Kid in Bangkok .Well Done.

      Yes. It doesn't even look bad from afar. And I have no problem with the idea behind this or the design.
      BUT the execution is just terrible! Bad spray paint and dents? - Just put stickers on em!

    Your technique for doing sheet metal is exactly like mine. Print out the flat pattern and stick it to the metal. I sometimes need to do the same thing with tubes. Split the cad model and convert it to sheet metal, flatten it, print it out and wrap it around the tubing and you have the pattern to join tubes.
