Hi and does anyone have a way to hold the chain slide on their bike other than the few sheet metal screws that the bike comes with?
If you mean the self-tappers they wind into the swinging arm, I tapped a thread into these holes and used some decent stainless socket head bolts.
I was thinking about using a slightlly larger bolt also ... Did you use the stock material or purchase something else and fabricate something ...
If you do mean the chain slider that screws down onto the top of the swingarm, I ran a taper tap M5 down through the holes made by the tappers, then used a stainless steel M5 socket cap screw. Sorry if that's not what you mean? Pic of the fixing, just left of chain..
Yep I did the basically the same as moto66- I did use some permatex adhesive as well but it probably didn't do anything after a week.
That's it and looks good... good looking chain also ... I'm gonna have to do something along UR line as my sheet metal screws have a tendency to come out and I just chewed up my slide material ...
Chain's just a non O ring DID job. Not expensive. The steel hoops were already there in the slider - albeit rusting so I got them chromed - and the fasteners are as stated. Also drop a bit of low strength threadlock on the screws, save any backing out. Could do that on yours for a cheap fix. Pink is low strength, blue med, red she's glued ha ha.
