Chain length???

[Moparict]

I am putting a four inch extended swing arm on the busa and was wondering how I find out how much longer the chain needs to be. Simple math tells me eight inches. By the way, I tried searching. Either I stink at searches, or it hasn't been asked recently.

Thanks in advance fellas!!

do 130 links and cut to fit...Chains in Stock if needed..

Will 130 be enough? Really?

Wow.

Go for a ride to afton mountain and it will magically happen

search is your friend...

for a 530 chain, this is the rule of thumb.
stock chain about 112 links

2 inches over add 6 links
4 inches over add 12 links
6 inches over add 20 links
8 inches over add 26 links
9 inches over add 28 links
10 inches over add 32 links
12 inches over add 38 links

a 530 chain every 2 links will add 5/8's of an inch

By "links" you mean "pins," right?

heavy, your sick for going afton mountain, but hey if you really want some twisties and turnies, you really need to come over to roanoke and go up windy gap and bent mountain. Windy gap has a lot of slow technical turns and a lot of 100+ straights, Bent mountain has a lot of high speed 60-80mph turns. mmmmmmmm twisties and turnies. lol----oh and you'd be suprised about the lowered bike, i mean yeah it doesnt handle quite as nicely as a standard height busa but you can still lean over quite a bit before you start to scrape

stay away from the scrapies,

Trust me I'm not in it for the twisties, I like the scenery.

I'd come up there for a ride, my girl is dropped and now stretched so I know all about the handling.

at scrapies!!

 

[erinehart5001]

well let me know when you want to come up. spring time would be better though,, a little cold right now

 

[heavybusa]

Will do when the weather warms up.

Which may not be too far away.
