Default chain conversion

has any convert twin cam soft tail to a chain final drive, thinking about going to this set up to run slightly larger tire and sprotor from exile to clean up the right side. If there is anyone that has converted was it difficult.

Default RE: chain conversion

I did but had a shop do it. EXPENSIVE is the only word to explain it. I went with the HHI sprotor set up though, It looks good but havent ridden it yet. Have to still do the rear fender then I am ready other than paint. I also went with a denver springer. I will post pics later. Going to the shop this weekend and have to remember the camera this time. theres a picture on clubchopper, I go by trainwrek.

of course there are other ways to go larger, check out heartlandusa and dmcustoms, should be cheaper in the long run
