- Don't be scared...CUT IT UP!!!
Does anyone know where I might be able to come across such a thing? I'm not sure exactly on the length until my final mock-up, but I am just trying to get everythingsorted out now. I just got orders to Japan, so I am now on a much tighter schedule to finish the bike. Looks like I'm gonna be bringing this baby back to it's motherland!!! So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please don't apologize for using the macho man-sized 630 instead of the sissy looking little girl 530.
When explaining "size matters" to all the admiring babes, they will readily accept that such a powerful bike requires the larger chain, and won't be dissuaded by the feeble explanations of the 530 guys (who ya most probably don't wanna race). :lol:

MFolks - Thanks for all of the info. There's a lot of good stuff there. Took me a while to wade through it all. I guess first thing is first, I have to get my mock-up done so I can get a good measurement. The chain length calculator should work great, judt need to get the overall length first.
While we are on the subject, does anyone know of anywhere to get a custom axle made. When my hardtail was made either my measurements were off or Cycle One was off. Either way the rear end is about 1/2" too wide. My options are to try and find an axle that will work or to have a custom one made. I am definitely going to trudge through the junkyard first, but if that doesn't work, then a custom might be my only option. Any thoughts?

I'd think if they have the materials & machine tools, they could make you a custom axle.

So I'm thinking with the stretch and all of that extra chain flopping around that it might be wise to add a tensioner into the mix. I just keep having visions of slinging several feet of 630 while flying down the highway. Ouch!! Any advice?

I have a section of 30 links of 630 EK MS non-o-ring chain.
Don't be afraid of master links!
Plus this way you can mock it up.
All High Per. places sell good chain by the link. If you want new stuff
