The only bobbins I have on my bike are used as spacers on my exhaust hangers. They also double up as somewhere for a bungee to attach. I use an Abbastand for working on the rear. :thumbup:

Cheaper to do the blade arm mod.
Wish I'd kept the leftover bits of various Blade arms I've used to chop the brace off, as it's an easy welding job at the same time as welding the brace on....
Tony, do you remember who manufactured the aftermarket chain adjusters?

I'd really like some nice machined ones, particularly the type which extend back and down.

P.s I'm still enough of a yoof to wear skinny jeans... so I don't have the flares problem Image

Sorry, I don't recall who that was. Try Gilles?

Thanks Tony,

I spoke to Gilles and they haven't produced any chain adjusters that will fit the Storm Image

I've been trying to figure out a way I could make some at home, but I just don't have the tools for anything remotely precise.

The idea of using sections of a fireblade arm still appeals- you could also shorten the storm swingarm a little to help with faster changes of direction. You'd also need fewer chain links, so saving a bit more weight.
