How long of a chain??
How long of a chain do I need for a 70" zx14. I have 1 1/2 almost brand new factory chains. I was just gonna splice them together and make a long chain. But was just wondering about how many links I need

160 links should put you close.
Edit:
I just measured and 150 links puts me at about 67". That's with 16/47 sprockets. So figure .625" per 2 links... so guess it's closer to 160 links for 70".
Keep in mind sprockets use .625" per tooth or so.. so you have to figure that in as well.

17-51, 160 was perfect, but the 14r swingarm is a little longer than a gen 1.
