Because.......

Hi Brian,I live on't Brook,near the Pines,hope to see you around when I finish my Storm......

I have a scottoiler on the storm,I also ran one on my Bandit 12,after fitting I never had to adjust the chain again.....unlike before when every ride out meant coming home with a slack chain.

not sure which to go for.......

"if you ride for fun its great gearing" Yes I defo will be riding for FUN

Hey Hawk,sounds a nightmare....good job I'm talking about 15/42 gearing

So is there any difference in the above ratio's,I suppose theoreticaly there are the same amount

Probably best practice to loosen/torque up all nuts and bolts before lifting the bike up,ie;
on the ground.

Good luck! Watch the bends where the brackets are as they might need reinforcement. First time I needed to hoist the rear end to replace rt foot peg hanger I simply strung tow rope between two fixed gateposts to support the subframe. Next door neighbour looked at me oddly but he seemed to understan...
