Cam Chains

[feltonminicycle]

The original chains are DID Brand. They were weak and stretched easliy. We used to buy the original chains from Honda the car dealer in 2 variations. Open with a pein over master link and continous which required crankshaft removal.
I used to get cam chains from a Honda CB450 or CB500T and cut to length. More recently I would buy the 219 x 114 links go kart racing chains made by DID. If you get the Gold chains they are higher strength, but don't come with a consumer servicable master link so I would buy the Honda CB350 pein over master link. This is kind of contraversial since they go to the weaker chains.
The other thing with the Kart chains is the links aren't as wide as the OEM chains and ride higher on the sprockets - our cam sprockets aren't straight like a motorcycle stamped steel bolt on sprocket like a Honda 750 or other 4 cylinder must be the same with a go kart sprocket.
I have used a lot of the gold kart chains, never broke one, never broke a master link.

Please change the subject line when switching topics.
Do you really want to depend on a used hose from a motorcycle to stop a car weighing 4x that of the bike?
