This'll be short because the bike is primarily an engine change and a little tune-up on balance, CG, and aero. Most important; at last SpeedWeek Tom Evans saw my adjustable chain run guide, and asked me to post a picture. This guide came about because I had difficulty feeding chains through this bike. The Suzuki swingarm tends to feed the chain into the wedge ahead of the sprocket. It instantly jams the wheel and can be a struggle to free.
Then a bike at ElMo had a chain break and jam the wheel. I decided to try to do something about the issue, and this is what I've made. It's simply an adjustable shelf that feeds the chain off the sprocket and keeps it going forward, instead of into the "wedge". I hope I never need it at speed, but it sure is easier to put on the chain these days!
Also shown is my gantry for loading, unloading, or work-positioning the bike. Due to long wheelbase and low clearance, I had an awful time loading/unloading or working on the bike. Also, I have heavy tabs welded to the frame tubes and I bolt the bike down to a floor bracket for all transportation (quick and easy on the return road). It is a little difficult to get lined up perfectly, so this gantry lets me drop into the bracket.
It works great for single-handed loading/unloading, and I've added hoops on the outside of each fender to catch the tires for a raised work position. I'll make a positive stand that uses my ground stand "pass through shaft", to lock the bike in the work position with the gantry swung out of the way.
