Went to adjust the chain today and managed to shear the bolt holding the torque arm to the swing arm.Every time I adjust the chain I'm very careful to slacken off the torque arm nuts so the strain doesn't build up over time and crack the lug on the swing arm.What I didn't do is try to rotate the bolt in the hole, and so over time it seized in place. Today I tried to move the actual bolt and the head just snapped off.So the bike's off the road now until I can replace the bolt either by drilling it out or Plus-Gassing it and drifting it out. I'll probably go for the latter.
Pic looks fine to me, not sideways or anything else weird
Changed the cheap aftermarket "Bike-It" mini indicators (10watt bulbs) back to OEM standard ones after mate following said he couldnt see them working in bright sunlight and the stalks on rear ones hardly cleared number plate. Didnt want to give any cagers the excuse of saying "You didnt signal!The alternative would have been to go with led lights but couldnt be bothered to fit resistors-i am getting lazy as well as old!

Good man. Never been into mini indicators either. Maybe it is an age thing
