Here's what I'm thinking,
I get the 520 sprockets from CRA and run a Renold or Regina or an Iwis conventional chain (I'm just not an O ring
or X ring kinda-guy), I think the 520 will allow me to run a heavy-duty chain with no clearance problems.
Regarding sprockets, I'm thinking a 21 Tooth front sprocket should be good.
I'm not "Ricky Racer" (I'm more a "Cruiser" kinda-guy).
I live in Houston, Texas (no mountains, it's FLAT here).
No passengers (no passenger pegs).
The Norton is the only bike I have that can handle the highway well so it will probably get used there a lot.
The reason for running a conventional chain, with these fancy newfangled O or X rings you can't do the
heated grease bath and chain maintenance is therapeutic (one of the big attractions to these old bikes
is that they "need" me).
Thoughts?
