ehhh...oh another tip...loosen your chain adjusters so you can push the rear wheel up as far as it will go to get the chain tension off the sprocket, no twisty twisty...and dont EVER say that again :P

We'll just checked how loose my chain was and was able to move it about # 1/2 inches which I think is way to looseComment

Actually i think 1/2 inch is recommended...it is on the KZ but thats a 530 chain...or maybe its 1/4 inch of play in the bottom side...id have to look at the manual. That isnt really that much play...Comment

actually I typed that wrong 3.5 inchesComment

one small step for cafe kind....
Ok so update...today i got a little rambunctious and took the tank that i just traded some gs1100 gauges for, and i made an attempt at pounding knee inserts.....lets just say, its not as scary as you think...either that or i got lucky. I couldnt be happier with how easy it went...the metal bent just where i wanted it to, and the one side ( i only have one side done so far,) turned out pretty damn good. lil bondo to smooth it out and i had a dog and his name was BINGO!Comment

Kick ass man. Hopefully you didn't throw away the envelope with the money inside. Those gauges should work great. A good cleaning will go a LONG way. And trust me when I say good I MEAN GOOD lolComment

already done....btw PB Blaster is a great plastic restoritive...lol they look brand new...i dunno if im gonna keep the dummy lights or not, still debating, looks good without, and looks good with. Just will depend on how much electrical crap i wanna rewire. No i got the envelope, thanks bro! Your stuff will go out UPS tomorrow for sure. I was scurrying to get to work this morning, my DM was going to show up and im never late, and of course the one day hes there im late...heh such is my life. Theres a UPS store right next door to the work, so they'll be on their way.Comment

Cat's ass.... I gotta try that PB blaster for restoring plastic.
BTW
1.I been meaning to ask where did you get the spoked rims that are on your cafe? They look good
2. The splined shaft that the front sprocket is on, is there a washer or something that's supposed to go between the sprocket and the nut that holds it on?
Mine has too much play and it's making me worry. Not to mention I looked at it again and I DEFINITELY need a new one. All of the teeth turned into hooks.... Damn thingComment

Lemme consult the Clymer...there should be a plate that has one edge bent up to keep the bolt from spinning off but after that im not sure...ive only had to replace the one on my lil KZ and it was totally cakeass...get with you in a jiff on that.Comment

I like em i kinda think it sets off the bike more than the tank and seat on some cafe bikes. Ive seen some sweet spoke set ups...One i like em blacked out, two i dont have the patience to polish chrome ones all the damn time
