I've read lots and lots of posts on the chain conversion, but I still have questions. My bolt is track only, and I would like a way to change the gearing of my bike. I don't have lots of $$ to spend on the conversions that Hal's and racingmotorcycles is selling. Is there a way of just getting the chain and sprockets etc.. that I need and doing it cheep? Has anyone done it this way? Thanks in advance. |

It's to bad you didn't ask that a while back because one of the sponsers wanted to fit their kit to a track bike, but I think someone else already took them up on the offer. |

Yeah, that would be a great idea. Guess I just have bad timing. |

We can't offer a free kit but we can offer 10% racer discount That makes the price to you UK£448 (approx US$800) plus shipping. Kit comes with 4 rear sprockets, 22T front sprocket, adjustable chain tensioner and a chain roller that stops the chain eating your swingarm. If you are at Loudon next month you can see one on Race Pirate's (Bill Armstrong) bike. |

Thats sounding better then paying over $1000 for a conversion kit. I don't have a race license, do I need one for the discount? Right now I'm just doing track days. Although if I could get a conversion for less, I don't have lots to spend. |

I am running the Adrenalin Moto(Trojan) chain conversion, It is a simple installation, nothing needs to be cut or modified, just remove the factory components and replace with the parts provided. I have a pic on my website of the side view, but if anyone is interested I can email full quality photos of different angles, drop me a line. Whether you race or do track days the chain drive has its advantages, its easier to get a spare chain from a track side vendor then trying to locate a belt. Also the bike has been set up with an aggressive geometry, the Trojan kit does not alter the wheelbase and retains the rigidity of the stock swing arm. The big one is having the ability to change ratios. |
