Default Re: Eliminating the driven sprocket

Unfortunately the chain that comes with the kit is not a common chain. It has the same pitch as the 420 & 428 motorcycle but the width is larger for the Motorcycle. A bike chain is again the same pitch but they use a narrow sprocket, I think you can just use there sprocket if you can find a way to mount it. The only other thing I can think of is use sprockets for the 420 chain and then have them Ground down narrower to fit the chain you decide to use.
Have fun, Dave
PS: This might be just what you need, I think the #35 chain is the same pitch we are using. Do a search and see if you would just need to narrow a sprocket for use to the bike speocket. Jack Shaft Kit — 5/8in. x 10in. | Chains + Sprockets | Northern Tool + Equipment
