i must say i am very impressed with the way your bike has turned out, it reminds me that i need to post pics of my motard?!

cbmoor a few comments, in your initial pics let me say WOW ! fantastic looking restoration !
my second comment in looking at your chain it looks like you have ZERO chain slack ? This is a BAD practice and as the swingarm moves upwards through it's arc stroke the chain will tighten. You could very easily granade your rear hub, i've seen this happen first hand (especially in a moist sand race )
IMO it's always better to have a little extra chain slack, than a chain that's too tight.

Wow, nice job! Where did you get the decals? 8-)

Unless it's a brand new chain which it very well could be . I know they will stretch , they will stretch alot . You just have to take it easy for the first 20 minutes or so , couple good gooses and she will loosen up for ya. :wink:
