Looks good ,just a couple of tips. Your chain looks way too tight, the rear geometry makes the chain tighter as the suspension compresses. I usually sit on mine and make sure there still is 25-40mm slack,also it looks like you don't have the chain rollers fitted. Last but not least fuck off those foot pegs they are useless and get a set of Bosley's or something similar

The chain roller is in the garage to be fitted, the side stand must of snapped and been welded back on at some point when I fitted the chain roller it's to close to the swing arm it's catching the swing arm rubber, so I need to drill another hole,
As it happens I ordered a set last night from bosley, I should have ordered them before Xmas as they have gone up £6
