Some have eccentric ones and I'd avoid them. Had one on a Z650 and it was a bugger to set the chain properly. Maybe it's just me...  Alex |

No, not just you Alex - my Metmachex that was bought brand new has those adjusters that aren't nearly as accurate as they claim to be  Wished I had opted for the extended "normal" type of adjusters but that was a £60 option top of all the other options they charge you for at Metmachex, but I couldn't justify nearly £900 on a swingarm !!!

Plus when you adjust your chain tension it alters the ride height !!

Anybody know the length of a standard lc swingarm from middle of rear spindle to middle of swingarm spindle? From small to long on chain marks on swingarm? Tia Jon

Oeb , the extended chain adjusters are very wide, and I know i have to get the sprocket carrier and caliper carrier milled down to fit, if it carnt be done then i will use the dt lc arm I already have, anybody know of someone with a milling machine near Sheffield?😉

Oeb , I know what you mean about clearance,but mike027 has done it with a dt lc swingarm,fzr runs a 160 tyre, but could use a 150 instead and use a 428 chain instead of a 520 for a bit more clearance? Any advice is more than welcome tia Jon 😉

2MA should go in ok, only a 120 section tyre as standard.
