update on silver fox

[MMarty]

Hey all, I am almost done with fab on my silver fox refurb. My home depot 420cc engine runs strong. So far am happy with gearing. Now just have to flog it out in the hills then tear it down for cleanup and powder coat. here's some before and after pix.

I like the articulating rear swing arm. Good job.

Very cool build, and I DIG the tires bro!

Very nice. Just one observation - it looks like your chain might be a little tight. There should be a bit of slack in the chain.

Otherwise it looks sweet

Yeah the chain is pretty tight. I'm banking on it loosening up a little after I ride it some.

Don't bank on it loosening too much. You can put a lot of strain on the driveline components with a tight chain. Rather keep it a bit loose and tighten it a bit later if you need to.

Just my 2c....

It still has about 1/4 inch of deflection so I don't think I'll tear anything up.
