March 26th 2000

Well finally managed to get the chain mounted as I have been waiting a month odd for
my Motion Pro chain kit from M&P.  I got it last Friday so I put it together and found some
time today to take a few pics and update the site.

I've also fitted the new one-piece nuts I had from ages ago and they are lockwired in place,
although the pictures do not show this as I got the lockwire after I took them ;-)

My brother drilled a couple of small holes in the nuts to feed the lockwire through
although you can't really see them in these pictures.  I'll update them when it's lockwired.

Here you can see the Yoyodyne in place and the cover fitted
over the new 14T sprocket.

Here is an overall piccy showing the new
gold chain which I think finishes the bike
off nicely.

I managed to get the bike out for a short run last weekend and the clutch seems to have
a more constant feel to it, although I'm not sure how much lighter it is cos I haven't used
the bike in months and can't remember how it used to feel.  The bike picks up nicely now
with the 14T gearing, I wasn't too keen on the long first gear before.  Once I get the bike
out for a few more runs I'll see how the changes have affected it overall.

I've also taken some new pictures of the bike to update the main site, I'll add these when
they are developed.
