[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 99793, member: 38"] Silent chains have been around for a long time and commonly used for cam chains in the automotive world. Morse chain made a unique designed one called a Hy-Vo chain which transmitted considerably more HP. they were used on the front wheel drive Olds Toranado amongst others to transfer from the engine to the transmission with great success. Max's Twin engined liner used them to connect the engines and to connect to the transmission but in the end he took them out and went with a gear drive. I think the power pulses of the engines did them in. I have sold them (and some very large ones) in industry for several hundred Hp electric and diesel engines, but they like a nice even load and pressure lubrication. I think to make one substantial enough to deal with a Vincent twins power characteristics it would have to be quite a big size, The belts are more forgiving and way cheaper and easier to replace. And just for fun [URL]http://www.voc.uk.com/net/docs/1.3/1.3-361-12.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
