Post #5 should be copy/paste as follows:
Sorry for the delayed updates guys, I'm having a problem setting up Photobucket on my work computer- I might actually have to do it at home, imagine that!
At least I can provide this tidbit from my TALES FROM THE GARAGE
(edit 7/30/2017- this image added for dramatic effect, but it is my image- it’s my custom designed fairings arrived to my front door…er…garage)
Last night I took one of my (cheap) chain tools out of it's misery. and it's a shame too...stupid me decided to use the tool with a bent pin - thought I could get away with it and I snapped the tool's steel U-shaped part using my impact wrench. It's trash now. Glad I have my Motion Pro- even with one of the anvil's broken (I don't think I need that anyway- but I can order a new one).
After breaking the chain free - I removed the front sprocket and sprayed the area with Powersports Simple Green (it's not green in color) and let it drip into my oil catch pan. Tonight I'll take a rag to the area and clean it properly - there's chain gunk there and I've never been able to clean it properly until now, which is why it's on my task list.
After riveting the chain back on (hopefully tonight) I'll be done with the truly mechanical work on the bike and then it's just a little electrical wiring, bodywork and other aesthetic bits.
