I am changing the rear wheel to a zrx 1100 on my Lawson and would like to know what size of sprocket and offset I will need for gearbox. Was going to run with a 530 chain . Any help from those who have already done this conversion would be most appreciated .

Just to make it clear for me, before I give you any duff advise..... Is it a 17" wheel you're fitting?

Ok, my 1170R has a Uni-Trak motor fitted & runs 17" ZX7R wheels. I originally started with a specially made 19t front sprocket & 40t rear, it was massively overgeared, so I went for an 18t front sprocket (off the shelf from Debben's), better, but still overgeared, okay for leisurely motorway work, but not best for performance. I have now gone up 5 teeth on the rear to 45t, so 18/45 with 530 chain (another new longer one) :roll: Works really well, revs at around 5000rpm @ 80mph.
I guess the ZRX probably uses the same sprocket carrier as the ZX7R. I had to remove 8mm or so from the mounting face & fit a 5/8" offset front sprocket to make it all line up.
Renthal sprocket code from B&C express is 184U-530-45.
