That was all run with DID Gold X ring chain with several years of dusty/muddy/sandy/rocky roads.

Nice work Ken. I love it. Inspiration for us all. More than one way to skin an axolotl, they say!
Ripper, woke up again.

All the best. Bern.

Hey all,
Just thought I would show what I have just done to replace a worn out slider block on my tiger, I am yet to ride the bike but it appears to look like it will work as intended.
The roller costs around 12nzd and is a pretty generic chain rollerYou cannot see attachments on this board.You cannot see attachments on this board.You cannot see attachments on this board.You cannot see attachments on this board.You cannot see attachments on this board.You cannot see attachments on this board.       for Suzuki/kawasaki/Honda motox bikes.
From memory it measures 32dia-28width with an 8 mm inner diameter through bearings for bolt.
Beauty of this setup is you can reuse old work out slider bracket.
I just bolted the bracket onto the outside of the mounting point rather than the inside where it normally attaches to get the correct offset for the roller, also used a few washers to get it sitting central on chain.

If this is lifting the chain to high I will move the roller down a hole in the bracket and if this is not enough I will just skim Abita of the "hook" part of the bracket to lower the roller some more, but as is I think this should work well and last for yonks. All up I think it cost around $15nzd.
Hope this helps somebody
Cheers Matt
