oops typed a 9 instead of a 0, its a 1979.. here they are also, Im in need of a drive chain. Any help that you can give me on how to do that?? My camera got smashed so I'm unable to but, you know the bolts you use to tighten the drive chain on the left and right? It's the one on top of those to tighten those up.

If you are talking about the piece on the end of the swingarm that has a dimple in it,then you can just get that piece or get a long enough bolt to go all the way through. Roy

Maybe the pic below will help. Which bolts are you having the problem with, and did you use a torque wrench when tightening them or were you doing it by "feel"? Ed

before trying to adjust 20/21 you need to loosen the axle bolt and nut
