chain is finally on the way, as well as black 7mm spark plug wires, and some shrink tubing to hide the grey pamco wiring since I am running it up the front. when I get the chain on I can finally see if I can break the clutch plates free. if that doesnt work I have to save a few dollars and am going to purchase new clutch plates and get in there.
DSS got back to me about the switch the other day and sent out another one free of charge, I promise to check it quickly this time. good customer service, considering I bought it 2 months ago. Will use them again.
I was fooling around with my engine guard bars and they came with one larger double threaded bolt to replace the one underneath. that was fine but the upper bolts on both sides were too short to accommodate the thickness of the tabs on the engine guards. found a seller on ebay where I could get the m10 bolt in a 90mm size (left side) and 55mm (right side). I would not feel comfortable trying to use the original bolts because there is less grab into the nuts. they are on their way too. thats a last button up item anyway.
I am entertaining the idea of buying shorter shocks and lifting the forks an inch or so to compensate and keep "some" of the stock geometry. I know it all changes but until I get comfortable riding this bike I want to be lower to the ground. my legs are short, I am nervous. when I get more comfortable I plan on returning things to their stock geo configuration.
