Chain and sprockets:
Good clearance on both sides, need 2 mm of the hub to get better alignment.
Have about 5-6mm between tire and chain so that will be ok.

You can flip the rear sprocket around if it's flat on the inside and dished on the outside. It won't gain much but it will be something.

Bike looks a lot like my '78 1000 I've been tinkering on.

Thanks Dave.

Could not resist and went to the shed to take a look at my rear sprocket.
And yes if I flip it, it will give me another 1,5 mm.
Maybe that will be enough but than I wil have a not so shiny side visible and looks are important :laugh:

BTW the reason the "K" was dropped from the designation in the Euro and some Brit Commonwealth markets was because KZ was one of the abbreviations the Nazis used for concentration camps (German: Konzentrationslager, KZ or KL).


Didn't stop honda from releasing the goldwing 1000 in the UK with the model designation of KZ.

Keep up the good work, looks good
