Chain

Most street bikes run a 520 size Chain and performance drag bike 530.


When you look at top fuel bike there running huge 630 size chain.

To save any tears later 630 big boy chain it is and we machined sprockets to match.

No i understand & I read that earlier about wanting weight over the rear. Was just curious on what it weighed, no other reason.

Nah :shock: I can easily move weight over the rear like tanks fuel etc

but what we are doing is the opposite of what everyone else is doing. :shock:

We are increasing wheel wight to increase gyroscopic mass for greater stability.

Wheel Nut locks 8-)


Torque Wheel nut then installs a bolt through plate to act as a secondary locking mechanism.



Just need to find a socket to fit now :roll: ;)
