Lol, I have the opposite problem, the almax chain I have is too big to go through the wheel so goes through the forks instead

I expect so as its a long chain but i'm quite happy with it through the wheel tbh. I have the same set up at work and do the same there.

The exhaust looks great and suits it.
I put a BW on mine and every bike meet I go to
I see a few of them. They are well priced and good quality.

One thing the bike lacked is a centre stand, so i've ordered one. I'm not a great fan of using paddock stands as I dont seem to have the knack of getting bikes on them and have nearly dropped several bikes and the AT is very top heavy too.

I’ve finally got the hang of it and bought another one as I got fed up with taking the blade off its one then using it for the NC.
The ABBA stand has been retired cause it’s fiddly to use although a great bit of kit.
