ill give it a shot.. in all honestly i have to agree with krey. of corse i would powdercoat it so it would match my future black swinger. i have seen way worse looking bolt in kits from name brand places for the same price if not more.. imo i plan on this kit very soon.

krey...
do you think the extra length would give you good enough clearance to fit a gsxr rim in there, or would it need to be widened as well?

I might have my machinist fab up a couple of pairs for testing just to see for myself.
It's getting to the point I think I'm starting to think I should pick up another Kat just for product testing...

I would assume the intention was to use the clip style master links saftey wired. Only need 2 chains, 1 master link theoreticly for that...
