Am thinking about it, anyone other suggestions?

Thanks, rob

Don't know what went wrong, hope it stays there now. It's the guide from M3 Racing.

I'm running one as is Mrieck and maybe several others. I can't really speak to it's benefit over the stock guide  since it was just one of those "why not" purchases. You need to use a flat link chain or it will wear down faster. I've had mine in for 11,000 miles with revs up to 11,000rpm and nothing has exploded and there aren't any chunks of the guide in my oil pan ;)


   Funny that they would picture it along with a "peanut" link chain that they expressly say NOT to use ???

M3 changed the tension instructions several times too Sean. Terry, SamCR750, LordMoonpie....they have them too. The "Lord of all CR750's" hasn't run his........... yet. If I have the "Million Dollar CB" he definitely has the " Million Pound CB". ;) ;) ;D The benefit is no moving parts.

Don't forget about me.  I also have one.  I am pretty sure Mike installed the HD cam chain in mine as I supplied it for the build.  Right Mike.

As Mike says I haven't run the 750 engine with mine in yet but I have raced the CB350 K4 with equivalent in for four seasons with ne'r a problem in sight.

Be interesting if you can get M3 to respond to your request to buy one - I've been waving a pile of dollars at McGrew for months now for pistons and he still isn't responding!

If in doubt though you can buy direct from KA Performance who manufacture them...

Hi lordmoonpie,

Correct, have been trying to contact them but with no luck. Will try KA Performance. Do you have a adress/website?

Thanks, Rob

 If you're looking for the 12.5/1  +1 CR750 pistons Dynoman sells them too.

Tried several times to contact him, but keep getting 'failure reports'. Anybody an idea?

Thanks.
