Default belt to chain conversion help

I have a hard tail frame with a 95 softail tranny and a 200 rear tire, I want to run a chain instead of a belt, what offset do I need for the tranny sprocket to make this happen? Thanks

What offset is built into the frame? Do you have a rear sprocket? If you have the rear sprocket and chain install them and using a straight edge measure from the center of the extended chain to the face of the transmission. When you have that measurement give me a call. 517-339-3835

You're not going to get an answer without giving us a lot more info than that! Sounds as if you will be wise to call Mark and take it from there - he's made you too good an offer to refuse!
