I found a deal I couldn't pass up on some brand new tires for my CB500t, they are a bit wide but did clear the swingarm barely with the axle half way in the chain adjustment. I bought a 100 link chain for my cb500t with the intention of trimming a link or two off it as needed, but noticed it added some nicer clearance for the tire. Unfortunately the axle is at the last notch for chain slack.
So I figure I have 2 options:
-Ride it the way it is and trim off a link later if needed as the chain stretches.
-Chop off a link now and deal with very little clearance for the tire at the swingarm (clearance will open up as the chain stretches).
Any suggestions? What sort of stretch can I expect from a "Heavy Duty" drive chain?
