Default Converting to chain drive.. Questions.

I'm trying to slam my bike from a 14 inch. rear suspension to an 11. Problem is my belt drive is rubbing on my frame when it's lowered. I do not want to knotch the frame, so i'm converting to chain. I know i can't just buy a front, rear sprocket and a chain. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a whole kit, or what things do I need to buy to make this happen. Part numbers, sites, etc.. would help.


Thanks..

some details of your bike might help. From your sig pic it looks like you are runing a fat rear end so do you have a offset kit in place already ? What size belt are you running ? hell is it a dyna or an fxr all I can tell is its a twin shock

Thanks. I'm running a 160 rear w/ a 1 1/2 belt. To be honest I bought the the bike with this rear end and I'm not 100% sure what is the offset of the rear.
