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!

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

Great work, Matt!
Very neat and looks highly likely to be an excellent upgrade.
Thanks, Bern.

Yes great work.
I purchased a spring loaded version from Ryans Motorcycles in Parramatta for my first bike, a Montessa 247 Cota. That was 1976! It was a clamp on to the swing arm set up with a similar roller.

Hey Russ,
Parallel lines....
My second 'bike was a Cota 247, after a Yamaha DT2, as I caught the 'Trials' bug.
Great way to learn to ride!

Buying a trials bike I got laughed at by mates who were inflicted with the moto cross bug  :wheel
After doing logistics for my eldest son & his mates, the Finke Desert Race 2012, being bikeless since 2005, I had the 2 wheel bug once more, purchasing a WR450F. One of the best bikes I've ever owned.
I went to our big local trail ride (Upper Horton, NW, NSW) on it. Not having ridden dirt bikes since 1989, I thought, here we go again. :icon_redface: 
I had the last laugh :ImaPoser  All these young D heads on their big time MX bikes couldn't make it up some squirrelly inclines, bikes & riders A over T.
Using my long ago acquired trials skills, chugged straight past. I stopped for a rest a klm further on, helmet off, several of the recently fallen pulled up next to me, with jaws on the ground  :bug_eye couldn't believe an old overwieght grey beard made it up the hill in one go.  :thumbsup  :icon_biggrin:
