[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 99696, member: 161"] Not really an answer to your question "can I fit an "O" ring chain to an "A" twin" but if you are planning on doing a lot of miles an alternative might be to fit an automatic chain oiler, e.g. Scottoiler. I use a Scottoiler V system with ordinary engine oil on all my motorcycles. It is actuated by vacuum from the inlet tract and I get 10,000-20,000 miles from a chain on a "B" twin. There are various other auto oiler systems, some electrically operated and some semi-auto and much cheaper, e.g. the Loobman costs £23.00 inc P & P. One of these systems is likely to be cheaper than new sprockets and an "O" ring chain and easier to fit.
