clunking chain...

[philshaq]

I spoke to the local shop and they suggested a split link to get it up to them for them to rivet it. Trouble is no one sells split links for the size of chain that goes on a fazer


So I decided to go for the option of riveting it with a hammer and taking it to the local shop for them to check it. Problem was I couldn't get the face plate onto the rivet, mole grips just didn't cut it!


So I caved, went and bought a riveter and riveted it in about 30 min, I didn't go for the swing arm out option as I thought it would be quicker (the missus was waiting around!) and I know its been well looked after before I got my mitts on it!


I ended up spending more time than if I'd have taken the swing arm out, bit of a fail on all accounts really. but at least its sorted now,


Check out the photos, do you thing the rivet is good enough? I didn't want to take it too far and pinch the link together... (the photos are a bit hazy for some reason)


Thanks as always for all the help guys
