Looks good ,just a couple of tips. Your chain looks way too tight, the rear geometry makes the chain tighter as the suspension compresses. I usually sit on mine and make sure there still is 25-40mm slack,also it looks like you don't have the chain rollers fitted. Last but not least fuck off those foot pegs they are useless and get a set of Bosley's or something similar :shades:

Thanks Eric
The chain roller is in the garage to be fitted, the side stand must of snapped and been welded back on at some point when I fitted the chain roller it's to close to the swing arm it's catching the swing arm rubber, so I need to drill another hole,
As it happens I ordered a set last night from bosley, I should have ordered them before Xmas as they have gone up £6 :omg:
Lol :rofl:
