Hey guys I am building a 80 xs650 wide tire chopper
I am looking for ideas on how to drive a 205/50-15 tire
I have built a hub and axle. but have two possabilities
for how to drive it from the engine. #1 extend the sprocket from the engine. to get it far enough out to drive the wheel #2 run the existing
chain to a idler block. any suggestions. ???

I should also say the frame is stock with a rigid 6" strech. and
the front end is raked to 40 deg. with a streched electraglide
tank that is streched 4" it is just in the mock up stage for
seat and tank placement and for battery box and of course
ho to drive the rear axle.

on an XS. www.650choppers.com/Er...ckson.html
