Anyone have any idea how many links the chain needs for a plus 8 swinger? Want get one ordered so I'll be able to ride the new motor when it arrives.

Thanks for the help Jared, I'm just going to buy a 140 link and cut it down. I think it 136 but not sure.

Right, never assume it is exactly what you think it is. Put on uncut chain with carrier in the loose position. Cut to size when the chain overlaps. If you cut to small your screwed.

I would definitely get one that goes all the way around both sprockets and meets itself.
hehe.
