If you plan on racing (drag racing) a fatty...make it a 330 with an OSD. NO jackshaft to blow apart.
Kosman widens stock wheels...thinking Ive hear $700+ for it.

Na I just wanna ride the jackshaft wouldnt bother me im trying to find somewhere where i can get my wheel widen and who will supply the support axle for the rear wheel i seen the are i wanted but they dont do the stock wheel would i have to go up a size in diameter also? i been on Kosman but they dont have a email or number from what im looking at.

Call them! Typicaly a guy named MATT answers the phone. The axle should be in with the arm kit when you get it.

the outside drive system is actually not a good design.....too much unsupported leverage and load placed on the arm and the transmission.

WHAT? OSD has a support for the output shaft. unsupported leverage and load on the arm?? noting diff from extended arms Other than the spinning torgue is off to the side of the arm vs over the arm like a stocker.

worst design you could possibly have for drag racing. the width of the pivot tube where it is bolted to the frame is less than 9 inches....width of the rear of the arm is 15 inches. the 9 inch width of the front of the swingarm cannot support the overpowering leverage of where the chain pulls on the rear of the arm. that is why we buid the club-foot option for drag racing.....and of course any and all of the frames we designed over the years had the chain running on the inside of the frame where as the main frame section would actually be wider than the chain line.

I see what your saying,( explains whay you guys run the club foot) but I guess I will see for my self...at the track then. I just converted my convent crapshaft to the OSD.
