Now sporting a type 530 chain with a tensile strength of 16,000 lbs along with supersprox type 530 sprockets. I added two teeth to the rear sprocket for a bit more low end torque as well.<br /><br />The hack is made by Dauntless and marketed as a dual sport sidecar. Nice construction, a bit pricey. The also make the subframe mounts for the V-Strom.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150333268045360006.post-1434685007195709022011-09-06T09:04:31.086-06:002011-09-06T09:04:31.086-06:00Thanks for the reply...I've been following you...Thanks for the reply...I've been following your Blog from time to time.
