Chain is not adjusted as tight.Aha Yes

The petrol in it is newer than 2015. Yes and I never leave petrol in bikes when not in use!

Is that the standard size rear sprocket ? Yes 54T is standard fitment on a SQUEAMISH

Footpeg relocation Yes

Greg ... You seem to have painted that carb stealth black and for very obscure reasons have undrilled the holes in the shark fin Yes, apparently lightening holes make them weaker, who would have thought?

And what has happened to that fork brace ... Must have been beefed up to better support that flash front guard. Ummmm not sure what you are seeing, same forkbrace and guard!

These next photos might confirm some things and might reveal others?

You've modified the Squeamish brake pedal to suit the new footpeg location

[eagle]

Remove the aluminium bracket for the rear brake, does that mean it really had no purpose ?

[Rooney]

Definitely some wizardry on the stator cover. Looks to be very custom and too shiny.

You also changed the shocks from NJB Experts to NJB Trix Shoxs.

Rear brake backing plate now anchored to the swingarm via a slot in the plate and tab on swingarm?

Hi Everyone,

Very interesting that you can spot where I added a little bit to the middle of the "S" and you can't spot big nipples re acropolis1989

Yes I removed the torque arm and Yes it had a purpose, see photos:

Definitely some wizardry on the stator cover. Looks to be very custom and too shiny.

Yes, the access panel is there for clutch adjustment and I must be terrible at changing gears because the gear lever decided to do an adjustment! So I saved the pointy "S" and made a new panel.

You also changed the shocks from NJB Experts to NJB Trix Shoxs.

Ah the NJB connoisseur. The Trikshox came first and I asked for another pair exactly the same but he had run out of stickers.

Rear brake backing plate now anchored to the swingarm via a slot in the plate and tab on swingarm?

Yes, I thought you might find that interesting! It all started when I was given some new old stock parts includingthat brakeplate.

There are other differences that haven't been picked up and I don't want to tyre anyone with the finer points. So I will simply call it hiding thingss in plain sight.
