Hey Pedda, where did you get the offset sprocket for 520 from?
I'm thinking of going down from the 530 as its all still a bit close to the shock for my liking.
Selfmade. Also ducumented in my build thread.

Thanks mate,good info,has anyone used a 530 chain and sprockets with the bandit arm?
Well, I did. On my B12-engined Kat. Different position of output shaft, bit lower than aircooled engines, so might not be good for reference.

When I bought the bike the colour on the logbook was blue,the engine number was wrong as was the cc as it still stated 750.
I wanted the bike registered properly so got a letter off the previous owner from a bike shop owner local to him saying the engine had been fitted correctly stating the new engine number and cc. I sent this info off to to DVLA in early June.In mid September I got the logbook back which now stated the correct colour but they hadnt changed the engine number or cc as the letter from the bike shop wasnt on headed paper even though it clearly stated their address. I then took the bike to a local bike workshop who gave me a report on headed paper to say the engine was fitted correctly with the correct numbers. I emailed this to the case handler, 2 weeks later I got another log book now with the correct engine number but still the wrong cc! I emailed him again and this morning I have checked the DVLA website and my bike now has the correct cc! So its all registered correctly which adds to the bikes desirability. With the work I have done I am thinking of letting it go for £4750 if there are any interested parties on here. I have Bandit mk1 running gear along with the top hat spacers and mounting brackets required to convert the Bandit arm to twin shock. Plus a box of other bits I have acquired for it including brand new YSS shocks. Mot ran out this week but I will get it tested.

Here in the States we have a convenience store called 7/11, they named it that because it was open seven days a week 11 hours a day. Now they are open 7/24, but the name stayed 7/11.

We here called 750>1100 swaps that due to the convenience store.

Question, do you have 7/11 convenience stores there in the UK?

The UK used to have 7/11 stores but they faded out in the 1990's, think they were rebranded as Budgens which is an established British convenience store owner, I remember being on a bus in the 1980's and as it passed through a town near to me called Twickenham (where the famous rugby stadium is) the driver stopped the bus and walked across the road to do some shopping in the 7/11 store, while all the passengers on the bus waited for him!
