Got some parts from the painter today!!! :laugh:

The tank and the rear fender had alot of clumps in the clear :( So he is going to wet sand and clear them again.

I should see it all tomorrow and painting the racing stripes and wheels tomorrow after noon.

So I finally got my chain in the mail today... It is a RK, and it is a rivet style.
I have done some reading, I have a chain breaker and I have a link press. I also have a number of clamps and vises from 1" to 18" so no problem with compression.

Here's the question... Is there any way to safely rivet this thing closed with out the specialty tool?

I have the right length and the swing arm off so I can do it off the bike and on a bench. Any suggestions?

Depending on other people and companies can be so disappointing. The painter yet again didnt come through. Got to wait at least one more day... :angry:

Even if he was done, Krüger & Junginger still have not delivered my off set front sprocket yet... :angry:

Coming from over seas or not should not take a month to get a sprocket... My custom rear sprocket was at my door in 6 days and was a third of the price? I see alot of guys on here make they're own fronts. I dont have the resources to do that. Any suggestions to get front off set 10mm 19t 520pitch?
