Where was this last week.  :banghead:  That would've been perfect!


Already got the parts to do it all separately.  Now I'm working on getting the giant chunk of rust formerly known as the front sprocket off..

I can modify the sprockets to fit if that might help?

I've got the sprockets, thanks though!


Latest problem.  Whats the trick to getting the front sprocket off?  Tried an impact wrench and it wouldn't budge.

I have a 1200 lbft Snap-On impact gun that should get it off. If not theres always the torch....  :biggrin:

Let me know and I'll bring it with me next weekend.

It is reverse threaded. To take it off, it must turn clockwise.

True. 

But, even knowing that, we couldn't get mine off my Buell.  Took going to a really, really, really strong impact.  It's only supposed to be 50ft lbs of torque, but I think it had the new black Loctite on it.


Oh, and I have a simple chain conversion kit for a Buell if anyone is interested.  PM me?
