Any of you out there running chain conversions and the later swingarms, are there issues with the chain rubbing on the swingarm? Also what size sprockets are you using?

BlkS1 - Yes. I put a chain on an aluminum arm with a 51 tooth rear sprocket, 19 up front - its a common starting point for buell drag racers.
There was an issue with it rubbing on the bottom of the arm, we had to grind some of the material away.

I have said swingarm for sale, I've since went to an older steel arm that has been extended
