So as the title stated I am doing a 520 chain conversion cheap. Which means a bit of muching around.
So far I have a Vortex 45T 520 rear sprocket, only had 500Km on it. So like new and cost me $12
A DID 520 chain new for $50 and the last item is of course the front sprocket.
So I am trying to find out what bikes use a 13T or 14T 520 front sprocket with the same center as the FZR600.
I do remember coming across a cross reference but hell if I can find it, any help is appreciated.

a brand new front sprocket is like $14 or $15... wouldn't waste much time looking for a used one.

Going with a 13t front is going to destroy your chain in a few thousand miles.

Here in Australia we pay about double for bike parts. I like to search of NOS parts on ebay.Freestyle72 wrote:a brand new front sprocket is like $14 or $15... wouldn't waste much time looking for a used one.
A list of bikes that have a matching front sprocket will give me more opertunities.

I have found a few 14T sprockets on ebay which I will bid for. Once I have worn out the rear 45T sprocket
it will be replaced with a 47T.
