JEFFROE,


If you went from a 1-1/2" to a 1" wide belt on the Road King how much faster do you think it would be?.. lol....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Jeffroe,

How long did your Sprocket Specialists 60 last on your Busa?? I have one from them also, and am wondering if I need to go ahead and order one from sidewinder?? At 88 bucks a pop, I definately want to get the strongest out thier.




bigger.

 

HORSE POWER...Grrrrrr yea!

Horse power fixes all your ailments......lol

 

nice lookin quad

 

Guys... unless you are doing nothing but dragging, I would go anywhere near an aluminum sprocket. I've personally witnessed three of them lose have their teeth over about 30 minuts of riding. On ended up snapping the chian and splitting my buddies banshee case. I've heard that Sidewinders most expensive sprockets hold up under the two wheel application, but I'm not sure it would hold up under the torture of a DS.

Think about it like this. Even if a bike (say a bad-*** Yamy 426) was able to produce 75hp, there is NO WAY ON THIS PLANET that it would be able to hook up in any type of terrain. Put that same motor in a quad and yes, you can get it to hook up in the dunes. Because it hooks up, the amount of shear force applied to the sprocket is probably umteen times the amount that is being put to a two wheeled application. Thus, the sprocket has to be the week link in the system. Obviously a good chain will hold up, but something has got to give, and most often it will be the weaker sprocket. Don't get me wrong... it will work, but the longevity of the sprock will SUCK and now you are out a minimum of $50 bucks. Go with the steel. Take your rotating mass off of the hubs, axles, tires, wheels, and even the chain. We're running 530 chains and they're pretty strong. My Busa ran a 530 and it dyno'd at over 155hp to the rear wheels. I'm sure that a lighter duty chail will be strong enough. In fact, Annihilator runs a real light chain, and he's producing HP somewhere in the 90 when on the button.
