rc51 wheel chain alignment..
 

Ok... So if I throw an rc swingarm and wheel on my bike, how far off will the rear sprocket be? I kinda want to do it, since I already have a wheel... I know the front sprocket is interchangeable with several bikes... One of them being certain year vfr750's .. I have a 16t 10mm offset sprocket for a vfr750... So I know they can be had... (please be a 10mm difference...) Mainly I ask because I might have an sp2 swingarm in the works, and it would be cool to use the wheel I got.. :)

Only guy I'm aware that did this was Tweety. Search around here, you'll find the thread.

Seems like the captain of chaos has done it as well.

Ok...... Tweety did not use an RC wheel... Some kind of CBR wheel... Trying to read through the whole thing again to see where he mentions which CBR... If it is a 17x6, then I can use the info... 17x5.5 is the same

CaptainChaos is the one I am getting the swingarm from, and he used wheels that were the same as the VTR wheels....

Just to clarify I had initially mounted stock SP1 wheels and then Marchesinis also off an RC51 and those are what you see in the pics I posted in the other thread.

The chain on the sp1 was in line? Just trying to figure out what will work. I guess I am assuming that if I center a 6.0 in place of a 5.5, that the sprocket will end up farther from centerline. Logic says by about 1/4 inch... But I don't put too much faith in logic...
