Yes I looked at Vulcan. But has anyone ran there chain. Not to hip on some off brand junk chain?? Thats only thing that scares me. The one I did today fit great but that rear sprocket wasnt what Im looking for. He got it from lowbrow for like 220 and he got a chain for like 80 from drag. We also have a zippers account so I can look into there pricing. I like the PBI front sprocket I used today, so I wouldnt mind all PBI and get me a Regina chain. Old road racer and Ive had good luck with Regina chains. Thanx again

...sigh...
You may have to do some measuring and research. Custom work is like that.
RK and EK chains are the norm around here.
My spacers are Vulcan, RK XW chain, and my sprockets are PBI. No issues at all.

About 1,500 miles give or take. I think i did the conversion back in april. Come to think of it, Tsubaki more than likely made my chain regardless of what the box said. They're the P&G of industrial chain drives.
