With the chain drive and sprocket sizes I run, the adjuster blocks had always ended up almost completely forward. I decided to leave in one extra link which should have had it close to all the way back in the axle slot, but I had forgotten that it isn't possible to go all the way back! How irritating that the last 1" of adjustment is there for decoration. |

I get the frustration but remember the bike was designed for belt adjustment and specific gears. When we mess with it we accept the reprocussions. I am a belt guy so i dont know this but do the make a half link? I know for the custom bmx bikes i build they do? |

Buellistic, this is a 1" raised rear suspension setup with a 1" extended swingarm. The chain slack runs about 2.5." Anyway, I made it work with some minor mods to the endplate. |

No half link. Interesting. Never heard of one before. |

We used the half link on the boys race bikes (bmx) had same issues frame would work with X gears but not others the half link allowed for precise adjustment. Just did not know if there was a sim product for motorcycles. |

You can get half links for British and European chains, but the Japanese don't make them for theirs, I don't know about American chains. Clive. |
