They are NOT RECOMMENDING chain conversion because there might be a clearance problem with the rear set controls bracket. The bracket fits between the swingarm pivot and lower loop of the drive belt. Since a chain sprocket would be smaller than the belt pulley, there would be less room for the bracket. Having studied their photo, I think the bottom of the bracket can be notched for clearance and reinforced, so I'm going ahead with the chain conversion.

Thanks for pointing that out! Chain conversion has been on my mind.

I am going for the upgraded suspension.

I dont have any tools for the project. Anyone have any suggestions for a good cutting tool? Links and item names would be appreciated.

I can help you with tools or even make the cuts for you. I'm in NJ.

Don't forget they are putting a rather tall wheel back there.

Does anyone know the oustside diameter of the stock rear wheel. Of course it will change with different tires but with a stock tire.

Yes, like from a stock 23.5" diameter to about 25.5"

So being able to experiment with final drive ratios is especially desirable.

I bought a 4" angle grinder & modified it to accept a 4" cutting disk. Had to hammer the disk shroud flat, because the cutting disks are flat, grinding disks drop a ways. Also had to build a little bushing to fill the gap between the threaded shaft & the cutoff disk. Why did I do all that? Because I couldnt find a tool for cutoff disks that wasnt to expensive.. maybe I looked in the wrong places.. IDK.
I like to put tape on the part to cut & lay it right next to where I want to cut, or, leave it a bit long & grind with a bench grinder. If its a straingt line on a flat piece& you just Cant afford for it to not be right, you can clamp a piece of angle iron on & grind to that.

I got a Ryobi angle grinder a few years ago that handles both grinding and cutting disks. The arbor has a slightly raised part the diameter of the disk holes. The nut also has a raised center part. When I used grinding disks, the raised center of the nut goes down. When I use cutting disks, the raised part goes up. No problem.

Of course, the handle can go on either side and the shroud rotates to whatever position I need, or I can remove it. Sometimes it would be nice if the motor and disk could reverse direction so the sparks shoot the preferred direction.

Mite depend on thickness of metal. The sawsall isnt a very gentle tool. You may want to get a piece of metal about the same thickness & see how it acts, or cut a line far enough away from where you want to cut & see if it makes a mess. A grinder for cleaning up is cheap enough. No need for a Makita, just an El Cheepo works fine. I prefer a paddle switch over a sliding switch for a grinder. Harbor Freight or the like is your friend.
OHH, & dont save $$$ by getting grinder disks from HF. Go get a Norton or some other good quality grinder disks. The HF ones spew bits of themselves everywhere at the slightest provocation & youll spend the same $$$ or more because youll be changing them out. Its very unpleasant using HF disks. I think yyoull be unhappy using a dremel for such a project. The cost of materials & the time required to get the job done will pay for the cheapo grinder & disks,
