I wish I could take credit for the 520 conversion, but that came from another member here. I just made sure to document it for future use and other members. It is definitely a good upgrade. 428 chain is just too close to the edge of durability with a 300lb bike and a 230cc engine if you put it through any sort of strain, at least in my opinion.
