    Your chain will be the chain you have, the master link you have, another master, and a short bit of chain to make up the difference.

    You break a chain by grinding one of the pins flush with an outer plate, then punch it thru.

    wow, really nice, what atv was the donor? and i sure hope it holds up and stuff, you should try lowering it, alot, and race flat track, but that would take some serious lowering, that things gotta turn liek shit... does it run and stuff?

    If I was you I would just do a chain swap to a 520 chain, that way you could run dirt bike chains and sprockets and have alot of different ratios available to you to try and get it right. RockymountainATV has cheap stuff

    That is freaking awesome.

    I'd like to do something similar with an older snowmachine chassis.

    I'll be interested to see how this ends.
