Is there a lighter weight chain conversion for the RD's?  530 chain seems a little heavy for these bikes; I see the newer 400's at the track with lighter chains on them, they look almost like bicycle chains, and those are a higher HP bike, so I was just wondering.

Ahh, sweet.  I'm pretty far from needing it at the moment but thanks.
Still looking for a set of Denco pipes and some other doodads.

dencos are basically impossible to find,  give up on that. i actually am in possession of a set, took almost a decade to get. i plan on measuring thrm up so they can be reproduced, but they are, from what ive seen, the rarest street pipes for rds ive ever seen that weren't one offs

Ive done the 520 chain conversion with different gearing. Non o and x ring chain too.
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.
