sandblaster:
The chain is too tight.
My new chain will be in early next week.
I will adjust it so that the rear wheel is as far back as it can go with the correct tension.
It would be nice to have a swing arm that is a few inches longer then stock... :-)
sandblaster:
A little trim, a little shim, and on it goes...
Since I installed this wheel and tire combo I need to get the correct length figured out.
I'm guessing I'll have to remove about 1/2 to 1" but I don't know yet...

A swingarm longer than stock?
supermotos usual go shorter in the swingarm
sandblaster:
I'm sure that is true. But then again i'm not racing except stop light to stop light so I just want to keep the front end down :lol:
Brute:
Sure looks shorter then just an inch? Sorry, just can't get over that it only dropped it an inch! AN INCH?!?!? What the?!?! :? Hope to get rid of the KZ1100 tomorrow. :-D That opens up a BIG hole in the garage. Getting closer to working on the KX5. Still can not decide on wheel color though. Only one motorcycle (big) job to finish before it is up to bat again. :-P An inch?!?!?
