ENGINE MOUNTINGS - Rear Billet Alloy

#1 PostAuthor: Pigford » Sun Jun 03, 2007 9:57 am

Thought I'd share some more useless :?: info with you lot.
I bought some billet (10mm) alloy rear engine mountings off eBay for a bargain price of a tenner, including postage. They came with modded spacers too :!:
After fitting em I went out for a 40 mile ride (Yesterday - Sat - as it was warm & sunny). Great, no probs! Later on whilst in the garage I was giving the bike a 'once over' when I noticed the split link was missing from me chain :?
OK, I know its a 630 (booo, hissss) and you're not really supposed to use split links, but I've never had one dissapear before :cry:

On further examination, I found the problem :shock:
As I've got a 180 rear wheel & off-set front sprocket, the drive chain is out towards the mounting plate, and what with it being thicker than a standard item, the chain was just catching the plate when the suspension compressed over big bumps :!: This must have knocked the fish plate off the link :oops: even tho I had the link facing the right direction :!:
Heres the view from the rear wheel toward the engine. If you look carefully you can see where the chain has just been catching the engine mount :|

No real problem as the mounting plates alloy, :idea: its easy to run a file over it for a bit of clearance as it only just interfered. Anyway, those plates look nice & match me other ones now!

Roll on BUCKS :wink:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
