I was told it is an o ring chain. Why won't it work???
Also I was going for off red look. Powder coat swingarm red, tank, and was gonna do wheels but heard that might not be the best idea. Pressure from the nipples can crack the paint. This is what I was told so don't quote me on it.

Grinds into seal due to extra width of chain. Pic below was saved in time before oil starts to squirt out.

What size chain works then??

[TwoTired]

530 or DID50 standard chain.  If you are using the stock sprockets (17F, 37R) then you need 100 links.

I was trying to be diplomatic after I got all upset at that chopper person the other day

and to answer your question the way it runs and the color of your plugs will tell you white is too lean and black is too ritch
