    Take out the output shaft, and custom build a new one that ends in a sprocket.

    DONT do it! If you want a chain drive buy a 200x or something! The fabrication involved in such a project doesnt bear thinking about. Dont hack up a perfectly good BR just to get chain drive.

    In earnest, what is your reason for wanting to do this?? The shaft drive setup on the BR's is simple, reliable and very low mantainence.
    Trikes:
    '85 ATC 350R
    '85 ATC 250R
    '86 ATC 350X
    '85 ATC 350X
    '84 ATC 200ES Big Red
    '84 ATC 125M
    '85 ATC 110
    '85 ATC 70/110

    If you have bought from me or sold to me, please leave me feedback here>>> http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthr...+RIDE-RED+250r

    ...and don't forget the swingarm. could use the swinger and carrier off something else, but then how to mount it?

    don't let these guys get to ya Destry. they can be a bit harsh at times, but they usually mean well.
