Spoke with the Duke today. He said he's waiting for an order to come in on chain in .050. Said it'll be at least a month.

This a used, stock 261 with an adjustable carburetor. I picked it up from a guy who straight gassed it and scored the piston. Kevin LaVanway (XS) cleaned up the cylinder and put a meteor piston in it. He's got a video of himself cutting with it after the rebuild on his YouTube channel. All...

Is the 400c a large mount like the 500i? Thanks.

Same here

So what do your guys think of the V Modest chain?
