The top fuel bikes use a 630 non oring Drag racing chain that is so big it
won't fit on any of my bikes
and sprockets have to be custom made and cost........we won't even go there.
But like you said use whatever works for you.
He He.. test run.....
WF will be our next attempt
I hope we can back up a good run I can just taste that 300
